Our Mission

The DJ DEMP Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Tallahassee, Florida. We transform the lives of at-risk youth through education and advocacy. We help at-risk youth identify bullying and prevent bullying through positive problem-solving. We believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our mission is to provide a creative learning environment for youth with a particular emphasis on problem solving and youth development to prevent bullying.

Our anti-bullying program focuses on eradicating bullying, ridiculing, teasing, and harassment in school. Bullying has a serious and lasting negative effect on the mental health and overall well-being of youth. We work to combat the negative outcomes of bullying, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and poor social performance. Our program centers on aiding students in identifying what bullying is and helping parents train their children on how to recognize bullying and stand up to bullies. We focus on social-emotional learning. We use music to address social issues. Music is an effective tool for supporting students in learning. It gives students a unique opportunity to express themselves creatively and build confidence. Music also improves cognitive and non-cognitive skills and helps develop language skills in children. We provide access to problem-solving workshops that help at-risk kids improve self-esteem and encourage creative expression. Music Inspires
