In Robin’s Words: “I began my songwriting programs working with Youth At Risk in the Boston area. After moving to western MA. I continued working with Youth at Youth Centers naming my program Giving Youth A Voice. I was adjunct faculty at Northfield Mount Hermon School where I taught creativity and songwriting.
There is empowerment in the arts. Those participating will come to see that they do not have to go back to the lives they once lived. They will learn to have faith in their creative abilities and will realize the power contained in their own voice. This isn’t a cure but for those who have survived trauma, for those who are incarcerated, it is a powerful step in the healing transformation. “
