The Cornerstone Community Arts Project (CCAP) was conceived with the belief that motivating our youth to participate in music and the performing arts will ultimately foster awareness to support local arts as a way to improve our community as a whole. CCAP is a community outreach service program of The Songbird's Gift, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, which serves to develop, strengthen, connect and support youth on their musical journey through educational programming, camps and outreach offerings, and focused mentoring.
CCAP provides our community with equal opportunities to access the benefits of music and performing arts education, while being mindful of the principles of inclusion and diversity, regardless of socio-economic circumstances.
The greater mission of CCAP is to support youth in following their artistic dreams, and to honor them by providing passionate, inspiring mentors while celebrating creative self-expression, community, and service, all of which have a profound effect on their intellectual growth, self-confidence and well-roundedness. CCAP affirms that those who play musical instruments and engage in creative self-expression develop strong skills in interpersonal communication and teamwork, critical thinking aptitude, long-term goals, and a lifelong love of expressing themselves freely through music and performing arts!
