Blue Light Music Program Benefits to At-Risk Youth


Rand Currier oversees the operations of Massachusetts-based Granite Telecommunications as its COO and senior vice president of operations. At the direction of CEO & President Rob Hale, who is well known in the region for his philanthropy, Rand Currier’s staff donates to charities each week through the company’s Jeans Day Donations program, which benefits nonprofit organizations such as Crossroads Programs, Inc. 

As music therapy has been proven to promote the emotional well-being of at-risk youth, Crossroads Programs has launched the Blue Light Music Program in partnership with the premier recording entity Blue Lights Digital Studio. 

Through the Blue Light Music Program, youths are able to sing, write songs, play instruments, and record and mix music in a safe, collaborative environment. Participants also receive support and assistance from studio instructors who teach skills that help them lead productive lives. 

The Blue Light Music Program requires support from donors to continue operation, and a donation of $250 provides one week of music therapy for five young people. Sessions consist of six hours per week.
