"I’ve spent a lot of time working with Terri and Lloyd over the last few years and it has meant a lot to me. I’ve made friends and memories and of course, songs. Because of them I’ve gotten a lot better at expressing myself. The OYOU kids camps have taught me confidence as well as pride in my craft. In fact, for my high school letter jacket “Own Your Own Universe” is what I chose to put under my name on the back. That’s how much the idea means to me.” — Harper Claes (Age 13)

Our OYOUth Club is an ongoing music and creative arts program with a mission to enhance artistic endeavors and leadership skills in today's youth. Our classes are welcoming to all in spite of social or mobility issues. 

We sponsor kids in need to attend workshops and events for free! Your donations and memberships make this possible!

"OYOU Kids camp was so inspiring for my Granddaughters, they love music and singing. They learned so much, and met wonderful new friends as well. The concert was superb, so much talent in one room and your great big heart right there bringing it all together. It was a great emotional boost for my girls."

— Suzy Fagan

OYOU kids are all part of an ideology we call "CLIMB." 

1. Community

2. Leadership

3. Innovation 

4. Motivation 

5. Be Yourself 

The OYOU hosts a variety of all age events tailored to be accessible to those with or without disabilities. We provide a welcoming, non-judgmental backdrop that celebrates diversity through the creative arts. Our events help children to explore their creativity. The OYOU fills a void for arts based education that is increasingly absent in budget-strapped public schools.
