Our Support

We collaborate with the Somerville Housing Authority, Mystic Learning Center, local social service organizations, and community-oriented artists to make all of our activities inviting and accessible to all. We especially strive to connect with low-income citizens, children, seniors, recent immigrants, and people with disabilities. We invite all who feel inspired by our music, art, and community-building activities to be partners with us.

We are now a non-profit organization! That means all donations are tax-deductible and can be made directly to Around Hear.

Donate

Donations by check may be made out to "Around Hear" and sent to 8 Evergreen Ave. #1 Somerville, MA 02145.

VOLUNTEER
