Mosh For Youth HC and Punk Scholarship Fundraiser

Donation protected
Who I am: I am a high school teacher in East LA and have been in the hardcore and punk scene since I was 15 playing in bands since, and have not stopped once despite my starting my career and unconventionally "growing up." I have been passionate about HC and the power of the community within it. However, I have also been in the field of education starting my sophomore year in college. First as a tutor, then as an instructor, to substitute teacher, to student teacher, and now a full time Ethnic Studies and AP World History Teacher.
 
What Mosh For Youth is me deciding to put together these two passions: hardcore and education.
 
Mosh For Youth is an annual fundraiser HC show to build scholarship money for high school seniors students of East LA and Pomona.
 
We believe in the power of the HC community when coming together to help communities in need.
 
We know that cost of college tuition and materials, such as books, is often what gets in the way of low income students from pursuing a college degree. The communities of Pomona and East LA have lower college degree attainment rates than the national and state averages. This is not for a lack of ability, but for a lack of resources.
 
We want to help. We want to alleviate the stress of money for students that want to pursue college. We know that we may not be able to cover tuition, but covering a semester or year of books would help out immensely. We believe in the hardcore and punk community to help out in this journey to try to make the world a more equitable place.
Aside from this GoFundMe page, we are also setting up occasional shows and festivals to raise money. The first being January 15th in Pomona.
 
More information can be found through our instagram and twitter pages: @moshforyouth
 
This is who we are. This is how we're trying to help.
If you'd like to contribute, please attend the shows or try to send a donation.
 
Thank you.
