Bridges for Music is a non-profit organization that was established in 2013 with the mission of connecting the global music industry with at-risk communities in South Africa. Through their various initiatives, Bridges for Music empowers young talent from under-served communities, equipping them with the necessary tools and skills to thrive in the creative industries. One of their core programs is the Bridges Academy in Langa, where they provide safe spaces and holistic learning programs to enhance the creative potential of young people at risk.

By focusing on the development of psychosocial and entrepreneurial skills, Bridges for Music aims to break the cycles of poverty and trauma that often limit these individuals and their communities. Their methodology, rooted in Self Determination Theory, helps develop resilient and self-aware agents of change who can overcome the challenges they face. Bridges for Music also offers income-generating opportunities to these talented individuals, providing them with the means to pursue their creative passions.

As a registered charity in the UK, US, and South Africa, Bridges for Music welcomes support from individuals and organizations who share their vision. Through their collaborative efforts, they continue to make a positive impact on the lives of young people in South Africa and the global music industry as a whole
