Yearly, YPC serves 2,000 children from the New York Metro Area, with 85% of our participants receiving scholarships. YPC serves over 550 choristers in our after school choruses, and also extends its reach into the community by bringing music education into 20 public schools, serving 1,400 children across four boroughs.
