Guitars not Guns

Guitars Not Guns teaches music to youth in Toronto who face barriers to traditional education and recreational opportunities. The organization provides free guitar lessons and music instruction to young people in underserved neighbourhoods, using music as a tool for personal development and creative expression. By offering accessible music education and mentorship, the charity creates positive outlets for teenagers and helps build confidence, discipline, and social connection. The program operates from community spaces across the GTA and welcomes participants of all skill levels and musical backgrounds.
