We conduct in the classroom training on how to create a volunteer drive, concert event, or awareness for causes that are important to students. We help young people to become aware of how volunteerism can lead to college, a great job, and stronger communities.
 
 
The level of engagement my students had with Rock the Cause was amazing! I have never seen an organization reach young people like Rock the Cause. My students were excited and empowered to make a difference in their community. The life lessons they learned are priceless.

Music Can Change the World
 
Nothing brings people together like the power of music. Over the past five years Rock the Cause produced over 3 dozen concert events, of varying size, that supported the nonprofits and artists we work with.

 

We have created a platform for emerging artists to get their music heard while making a difference. Our recent charitable compilation release Minnesota Remembers Vic Chesnutt has received hundreds of downloads, streamed on Spotify over 7000 times, showcased at SXSW and is currently being considered for and Independent Music Award. 

 

Whether it is a concert event, music download, or record release musicians get their music heard by working with Rock the Cause. 

 

When the artists are not playing music many can also be found volunteering in our community.
