Groove for Good Challenge (San Francisco) - School Outreach & Student Support Volunteer

School Outreach & Student Support Volunteer – Groove for Good Challenge

Why This Matters

Millions of underprivileged children in Kenya lack access to opportunities to learn and build essential life and leadership skills that can truly transform their lives. Groove for Good Challenge turns music into action through a high-energy, competitive, Battle-of-the-Bands–style challenge, where student-formed, independent high school bands compete, perform live on stage, and win—while creating real impact for children who need it most.

The Groove for Good Challenge will be held in April 2026 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
