OUR STORY
The West Virginia Sound Foundry’s mission is to support and inspire our youth through music by creating opportunities for participation, self-expression, creativity, and personal growth. We strive to remove barriers to access while building a supportive community where youth can connect, grow, and experience the confidence, belonging, and lifelong impact that music can bring in Preston County and surrounding areas. Our program will provide opportunities to learn music skills and perform in our community.
We want to be a resource for Preston County kids and to have access closer to home. We want kids to have fun and love music!
