YOSAL MURAL UNITED WAY MONTEREY COUNTY

Local artist Amy Burkman brings Salinas youth to life through vibrant murals and compelling films, showcasing the transformative impact of Youth Orchestra Salinas (YOSAL). This free music program isn't just changing young lives-it's creating a positive ripple effect throughout the entire community. Each mural tells a story of resilience, creativity, and the power of artistic expression. Through these visual narratives, we witness how music education opens doors to self-discovery and empowerment for Salinas youth.
This short film offers a glimpse into the larger story. To experience the full 30-minute documentary and dive deeper into these inspiring journeys, visit www.AmyBurkman.... Discover how a single program is orchestrating change, one young musician at a time.
