Music
Through a
collaboration with the
Community Preservation
and Development Corp.,
children and youth have
access to a state of the
art music studio where
they can learn about
creating, mixing and
recording music. Expert
CPDC staff work with the
children and youth
individually and in
groups and teach the
children and youth how
to make professional
quality sound
recordings.
In
addition, under the
directorship of a
volunteer children’s
choir director, Beacon
House children learn to
sing and perform for
church groups and in
other venues in DC and
around the beltway.
Arts
and Crafts
Arts
and Crafts
provide opportunities
for youth
that stress
creativity,
learning and
education.
Led by volunteers
from different
metropolitan
D.C. Unitarian
Universalist
churches,
Arts and Crafts
brings together
volunteers

of varying
cultural and
socio-economic
backgrounds
and has proven
to foster
a greater
sense of cross-cultural
understanding.
