About Youth on Record

Youth on Record (YOR) is a Denver-based nonprofit arts-education organization that delivers in-school for-credit classes, free after-school music and media workshops, paid internships, and fellowship programs delivered by professional local musicians and media artists.

YOR operates a 4,000 sq. ft. Youth Media Studio and a youth-centered campus in the La Alma/Lincoln Park area; through that hub and school partnerships the organization focuses on academic engagement, social-emotional learning, career pathways in the creative industries, and community performance opportunities.

In the most recent program year YOR reported serving over 1,700 students through a mix of classroom teaching, drop-in studio access, summer camps, paid fellowships, and performance showcases. Recent organizational milestones include co-ownership of the Underground Music Showcase (UMS) in 2022 and collaboration with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts through the Arts Across America series.
