Our Mission
Choose your sound
The Guitars Over Guns Organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit empowering young people through mentorship and the arts since 2008.
Across Miami, Chicago, NYC, and Los Angeles, we pair young people with paid, professional, trauma-informed mentors. They are working artists who show up week after week to create, practice, perform, and lead.
Mentorship is what makes it stick
A young person might come to GOGO for the drums, the mic, or the studio. They leave with skills, confidence, community, and a mentor who listens, challenges them, and keeps showing up.
Talent is universal. Opportunity is not.
Young people everywhere have something worth hearing. What isn’t distributed evenly is access: instruments, studio time, performance opportunities, and consistent mentorship.
Where your money goes
100% of profits support GOGO’s youth mentorship programs in the cities we call home.
Wear it loud
Every piece is a visible way to show love for the next generation of creators. When someone asks about it, you’ll have a real story to share.
