What makes Plugged In special is a commitment to including all students, regardless of their ability to pay or the costs associated with accommodating students with special needs.

One parent says, “My son has been involved in Plugged In for the last 5 years. Having done volunteer work my whole life, Plugged In is one of the most amazing organizations of which I ever been a part. This program transforms kids’ lives by giving them self-confidence, increased musicianship, and being responsible for making the world a better place. The goal is to teach ethics, empathy, and compassion locally and globally. The changes in these children are remarkable! They create a positive change in themselves and the world around them through their music. Music is the common language that binds these kids together. Plugged In is a family where the children truly care for and respect one another regardless of age, race, sex, income, or personal handicaps. Music transcends all boundaries.”
