our mission

BAMP Mission

To provide an opportunity where all children—regardless of circumstances— can thrive socially and academically through music education that promotes creative expression, teamwork, discipline and social responsibility.

BAMP Vision

Every child deserves the opportunity to realize the benefits of high-quality music education. Bay Area Music Project is a youth orchestra and choir servicing ​the Alameda/East Bay community by:
  • Uniting our community around a shared vision.
  • Never placing limits on what a child can do.
  • Developing a life-long love of learning, discovery and reflection.
  • Engaging and persisting individually and collectively to reach a
    common goal.
  • Promoting creative expression in a safe, nurturing environment.
  • Fostering self-confidence and pride in every young musician.

BAMP's diversity, equity and inclusion statement

Equity, inclusion, and diversity are vital forces in BAMP’s mission to provide an opportunity for all children—regardless of circumstances—to thrive socially and academically through music education that promotes creative expression, teamwork, discipline, and social responsibility. We must model these values within our operations and leadership to align with our mission. Thus, we are committed to dedicating time and resources towards acknowledging and dismantling inequities within our policies, systems, and programs, particularly to halt all disproportionately high adverse effects on communities of color. As a white-led organization, BAMP is on an active journey to be a community where all employees, partners, and families, holding all of their respective identities, feel valued and respected.
Current strategies include:
  • Enforcing and continually remediating transparent policies promoting open dialogue and protecting staff and students against discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
  • Collecting data to evaluate the impact of our equity goals in reaching, retaining, and being responsive to the needs of our families, staff, and partners.
  • Committing to an equitable disbursement of resources. Particularly with our students, we proactively prioritize recruitment, provide equipment and scholarship, and arrange social services and mental health intervention, to students with the highest need.
  • Requiring all staff members to participate in training that addresses power dynamics and privilege, cultural competency, and trauma-informed teaching.
  • Intentionally seeking members from our local communities for the staff and board that best represent and model leadership for our diverse student body.
