100% of proceeds from Amen Sundays go directly to community organizations in the Five Points and Cole neighborhoods of Denver. Every dollar funds instruments, education, and space for the next generation of creators.
When you support Wyatt Academy, you aren't just donating to a school — you're preserving a piece of Denver's history. Originally opened in 1887 as the Hyde Park School, the red-brick building at 36th and Franklin is the oldest structure in Denver built as a school that is still serving students today. Designed by Robert Roeschlaub, Colorado's first licensed architect, the building stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Cole and Whittier neighborhoods.
After being abandoned in the 1980s and falling into disrepair, the community rallied in the late 90s to restore it from “shambles to magnificence,” reopening as a tuition-free charter school.
Wyatt operates an Empowerment Center on campus, offering a free laundromat, grocery center, and clothing boutique for families. For a child to thrive, the whole community must thrive.
With over 80% of students economically disadvantaged, Wyatt prioritizes programs often cut elsewhere — a vibrant STEAM curriculum and a modern band program where kids learn drums, guitar, and vocals.
Amen Sundays was born out of a love for music and a desire to see our neighborhood flourish. By contributing, you help ensure that this historic landmark remains a community hub where the next generation of Five Points and Cole creators can find their rhythm. Your donation keeps the music playing and the doors open.
Youth on Record employs local, professional artists as educators — bringing music production, audio engineering, and performance into Denver and Aurora's most underserved schools and communities. They don't just teach music; they build careers.
For-credit high school classes in music production, audio engineering, beatmaking, guitar, and piano — taught by working professionals. Over 1,700 students served last year alone.
A professional recording studio open to youth ages 11–24. Podcast, radio, sonic art, and full music production — real tools, real mentorship, real output.
An 11-month paid intensive for young musicians ages 18–24. Songwriting, apprenticeships, seminars, and direct mentorship from Denver's working artist community.
Amen Sundays exists because music changed our lives. Youth on Record makes sure the next generation gets that same chance — with the equipment, the education, and the community to back it up.
Boredom Fighters was born at a music festival, inside a portable studio installation called the Instrument Garden — where strangers made music together using nothing but environmental sounds. When organizers brought that same energy into a school and watched students light up discovering modern production tools for the first time, there was no going back. Today they partner with schools and creative industries to make music production accessible to communities that have historically been locked out.
Studio installations, workshops, and teacher training bring modern music production into underserved classrooms — 265 workshops and 72 studio installations across 8 years of operation.
One-on-one mentorships connecting students with working music professionals. Real relationships, real skills, real futures — not just exposure.
Immersive camp experiences where youth step into fully equipped studio environments, guided by industry veterans. Music education as it should be — hands-on, loud, and alive.
Their mission is simple: increasing access to music-making resources and musical experiences in underserved communities around the world. Amen Sundays is proud to support that work right here in Denver.
