Founded in 2018, the Pinecrest City Music Project, Inc. (PCMP) is an El Sistema-inspired nonprofit organization that educates students to become holistic arts leaders, both in and outside of the classroom through its unique student-centric music education curriculum model.
With 502 students and over 35 staff, the organization operates, funds, and instructs public elementary, middle, and high school arts education programs across Miami-Dade, and has raised over $500,000 in government grants and monetary/in-kind donations since the program's inception. PCMP impacts over 8,000 Miamians through annual public access cultural arts initiatives including Music @ The Gardens and the South Dade Schools ArtsFest.
PCMP is the first-ever minor-led organization to execute competitive grant contracts with Miami-Dade County, the State of Florida, and the National Endowment for the Arts (subcontract), and is the only student-run organization to enter into an Affiliation Agreement with the School Board of Miami-Dade County.
Through its Equitable College Assistance Program (ECAP), PCMP covered costs for over 350 college application fees on behalf of its 2022 Staff Cohort - a $28,000 investment in Miami's future arts educators and advocates in aiming to eliminate inequities in the college admissions process.
The Pinecrest City Music Project aims to provide students with the musical knowledge to thrive in their music education journey through group-based instruction and hands-on learning initiatives while instilling the core values of the musical arts and its positive influences on local communities.
