We’re so excited to finally announce our partnership with the incredible @PFCFoundation, a global nonprofit transforming lives through music and arts education. 

Over the past six months, we’ve been collaborating alongside Shawn’s festival run in India and Latin America to expand access to music education for youth in underserved communities around the world. 

We’re proud to continue our global partnership throughout Shawn’s upcoming tour ‘Shawn Mendes - On the Road Again’. While on the road, we’ll be continuing our work by directly engaging with students and making donations to a local PFCF program in each country of the tour to help ensure lasting impact.

Music is a universal language that unites us, empowers young voices, and helps create meaningful change around the world. Follow along for more information and to learn more about global music education.
