Why It Matters
$250 Sponsors 165 Hours of Studio Time — Plus Meals, Transportation, and Mentorship
When you support The SouthSide Soul: you’re not just giving a young artist access to a studio — you’re giving them 165 hours of structured, professional-level creative development over 5 weeks.
That’s:
• 33 hours per week of hands-on music training
• In a studio that typically costs $100/hour — a $16,500 value
• At a fraction of the cost, thanks to your support
And that’s just the beginning. Your sponsorship also covers:
• Daily breakfast and lunch to fuel creativity
• Safe transportation to and from the studio
• Mentorship from working artists and producers
• A nurturing space for youth to grow as creators and leaders
You’re not just funding a summer camp — you’re investing in access, opportunity, and real change for young people with talent, drive, and big dreams.
165 hours. 5 weeks. Unlimited potential
