The students write and track their own goals, and at the end of the program receive a financial reward to put toward future professional goals. Emcee, poet, performer and scholar Molina Speaks guides and supports ambitious musicians and producers - with an emphasis on amplifying the voices of young people of color - as they learn the ins and outs of an often opaque industry.

Recently, the organization has taken this approach to the next level with a ten-month fellowship program, which digs into music as a business while teaching financial literacy, marketing strategies and more to the next generation of the music industry. For the past decade, Youth on Record has been changing the course of many Denver Public Schools students who are on the brink of dropping out by bringing music and activism together in the form of educational programming for school credit, taught in classrooms and at its own recording space, the Youth Media Studio.
