Drum Power: Building Up Our Youth

Drum Power is a drum and dance experience for young people where they are actively encouraged to develop valuable social-emotional skills through the exploration of African cultural traditions. Drum Power focuses on three pillars for positive youth development:

  • Discipline: Using my energy for good things.

  • Community: Supporting my own learning and the learning of others.

  • Leadership: Doing the right thing even when I have to do it by myself and especially when no one is watching.

DrumPower in schools

Get Drum Power at your school or youth program.

For over 20 years we have worked in schools and after-school programs to provide educators with a way to help increase the self-esteem and leadership skills of children. We work with your staff to tailor the Drum Power experience to meet your needs. Together, we collaborate to determine goals for Drum Power and identify outcomes that are most important to you. We assess the resources and equipment already available at your site, identify specific developmental needs of all participants, share possible lesson plans and assessment strategies, and explain requirements for successful implementation. Learn more about in-school programming.

“Drum Power offers children a secure foundation to becoming empowered, confident, future leaders in society.”

— Stacy Stone, parent of two Drum Power students
