Community Outreach

Shepherd School Outreach Programs

Our SSM students provide a variety of community engagement activities in the Greater Houston Area, and many initiate their own projects. However, the Shepherd School supports three major initiatives:

  • The Just For U Music Program (JUMP!)-

    a student-led, faculty-mentored outreach program serving Houston area schools.

  • New Art/ New Music is a partnership with the Rice University Gallery.

    Shepherd School students organize and perform concerts of new and contemporary music that complement installations at the Gallery.

  • The Sviatoslav Fund for Music Outreach

    provides financial support for student outreach projects that are selected through a granting process.
