VMA Junior Program

Developing young musicians into compassionate leaders and changemakers. The VMA Junior Program welcomes students in grades 1–12 who want to use their musical talents to make a meaningful difference.

Through service, stewardship, and leadership, students perform community outreach concerts, participate in leadership development opportunities, support charitable initiatives, and earn national service recognition. They grow not only as musicians, but as thoughtful, responsible young people prepared to make a difference in their communities and beyond.
