Mission Statement
Rainbow Songs Foundation's mission is to provide high-quality, interactive music programs free of cost to marginalized families with children using shelter and refugee services in the Greater Toronto Area.
About This Cause
Rainbow Songs Foundation's (RSF) programs run on a weekly basis in alignment with the school calendar, resulting in reliable, consistent and effective programming for at-risk children who need it most. Research shows that music education enhances a child's ability to learn and succeed in academic and social settings. RSF gives parents the skills and tools to make music with their children and enriches their children's most critical and productive learning years. We know that young families are the fastest growing demographic within the shelter system in our city, facing issues like domestic violence and poverty. These issues drastically impact the social, emotional and intellectual development of children, widening the gap between the economically-advantaged and -disadvantaged. The goal of RSF is to narrow that gap by offering high-quality music education to young families who might otherwise not have access to this type of programming. RSF classes are taught by professional musicians with a focus on developing language, numeracy, and other age-specific skills. The classes are filled with song, musicianship, and laughter to ensure maximal engagement and impact for all participants. We strive to create a risk-free environment where a parent, who may be facing challenging times, can bond with his/her child, through musical interaction and play. Since 2007 RSF has grown to offer music programs at 5-6 shelters and refugee centres on a weekly basis through the fall, winter and spring. We are very proud to have reached over 2,500 families with our music programs.
