Doors of Change: Taking Music and Arts to the Streets (TMATS)

(760) 505-7077

TMATS is a weekly event at which homeless youth ages 12-24 gather in Ocean Beach for free music and art lessons, dinner, clothes, shoes, social services, and chiropractic treatments. The music program includes lessons in guitar, ukulele, keyboard, drums, violin, mandolin, bass, and harmonica. When youth participate in TMATS, they are incentivized to help themselves. If they attend five two-hour classes, they earn an instrument of their choice or art supplies.
