The Quest Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit music education & youth development center located in Dickson County TN, a largely rural and lower-income community 35 miles west of Nashville. Founded in 2013, our MISSION is to help build and strengthen community through music. We use the power of music and music education to positively influence the lives of children living in rural, lower-income communities - including at-risk youth and individuals living with disabilities - regardless of financial resources, abilities or other factors. 100% of our constituents may be classified as underserved, many of whom 'are in desperate need of affordable after-school activities that make it easy to participate and be successful.' (Suzzi Peeler, Teacher, White Bluff Elementary School). We conduct programs year round, during school and non-school hours so we may serve all constituents.The Quest Center is a unique community resource that unconditionally serves at-risk and underserved children in rural, lower-income communities. Our operating model helps ensure that our programs are accessible for all children, with minimal overhead expenses:• we unconditionally serve children grades 4-12 with no pre-requisites, including individuals living with disabilities• we conduct classes at locations throughout the community, where children live and attend school• we provide free use of instruments, both in-class and at home• our classes and music education programs are conducted year-round, often at times when children need structured activities most• no child is turned away for financial reasons, but everyone is expected to contribute• our students are expected to ‘give back,' supporting charitable, school and community events & Quest Center fundraisers.For more information: https://www.qcdickson.orghttps://www.facebook.com/thequestcenter/https://www.instagram.com/thequestcenter/https://soundcloud.com/thequestcenterhttps://www.guidestar.org/profile/46-1892357
