The MacKinnon Family Activity Center

Tuning Into Joy: Our Upcoming Music Space

We are getting so excited for the brand-new music room inside the MacKinnon Family Activity Center! A music classroom gives young people a safe space to express their emotions and discover their unique creative voices. Learning to play instruments or sing together boosts confidence and teaches youth the value of teamwork and patience. It also helps change how the brain works, which can improve memory and help kids do better in their other school subjects. Having a dedicated place for music will bring joy and help our kids them grow into well-rounded individuals!

Interested in being a part of the foundation of the MacKinnon Family Activity Center? Read more below to learn how you can support our kids and help this creative vision come to life, or call Samantha Mellen at (813) 381-3839.
