Music to Life

Music to Life builds activism through music. A national nonprofit founded in 2000 by Noel “Paul” Stookey (of the 1960’s folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary) and his daughter, Elizabeth Stookey Sunde, Music to Life has collaborated with an extensive network of artists, businesses, music industry leaders, and nonprofit organizations to explore how music can create positive, measurable social change in our communities. 

Music to Life's Activist Musician Accelerator is a ground-breaking collaboration among activist artists and community and social service organizations. The Accelerator is a paid professional development opportunity that connects activist artists with each other and the mentors, partners, and resources they need to build effective music-driven social change programs. These innovative approaches measurably revitalize our communities - empowering vulnerable populations, galvanizing supporters, and raising awareness - through the power of music.
