Start a Peace through Music Club
Empower your school community to make a global difference through the unifying power of music.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
A college club can help raise funds to advance the work of our program or provide volunteer opportunities for our US-based or international programs.

Benefit Events
From sports tournaments to music festivals, outdoor events are a great way to build community and raise funds.

Get together your favorite local bands or musicians for a fantastic concert for a good cause. Advertise like crazy and charge admission or ask for donations.
Bake Sale
Get your club members together to have a bake sale. Your Rice Krispy treats can change the world!
Rummage Sale
Ask for donations of clothing, furniture, and toys, and then sell them to raise funds. Items can also be sold on eBay!
Team Challenges
Organize a "Practice for Peace" challenge or a school-wide competition to see who can raise the most for music education.
