ELM - Enriching Lives Through Music
Elevate Oakland is a non-profit that works to bring culturally vibrant art and music programs to Oakland’s youth. Our mission to provide students with opportunities to engage in art and music programming has led us to partner with public schools to meet a wide variety of needs, ranging from the provision of musical instruments for classroom programs to facilitating opportunities for students to perform alongside local professional musicians.
The organization was founded in 2011 by a group of acclaimed artists and creative professionals with a similar mission to provide inspiration and mentorship to Oakland’s youth with the goal of bolstering students' engagement in school and all around mental health.

Enriching Lives through Music (ELM) provides youth with an immersive music education and resources that inspire and empower them to pursue their dreams. We believe that access to mastery in the arts is a right not a privilege, and that talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not. ELM is committed to addressing this inequity.
ELM is a full scholarship, multi-year, intensive classical music program that provides music education, ensemble and performance experiences to children from San Rafael's Canal neighborhood to develop the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to succeed in life. The goal of the program is to provide our students with the resources and support to thrive in school and in life mand the confidence to pursue their passions that they derive through high quality, intensive orchestral music training.
