JMAT 4 Youth Launches Exciting New Small Community Organizations Strategic Alliance Initiative
As part of its mission to build a Life by Design for its Federation Organization youth membership, JMAT 4
Youth has launched an exciting new initiative of developing Small Community Organizations through strategic
alliances working with interest groups, sports groups, church groups, high school groups, and social media
community’s groups. Organizations can now organize their youth members with a group advisor/organizer
to take advantage of all the wonderful membership benefits which JMAT 4 Youth Federation umbrella offers.
In addition, the JMAT 4 Youth Federation is introducing a “JazzSippers program”, societies where people who
are passionate about Jazz can meet, host activities, teach traditional jazz appreciation to non-musician youth
members. And music educators, or skill musicians can teach instrument master classes, and performance
techniques to musician seeking youth members, utilizing the Traditional Jazz Curriculum Kit incorporated in
JMAT’s 4 youth based curriculum deliverability’s model, in the interest of establishing Youth Traditional Jazz
Ensembles for competition events, and to build a network in their own regions.
If you'd like to start a Strategic Alliance under the JMAT 4 Youth Federation umbrella for a Community
Organizations, or a Jazzsippers society, please email the survey back to us at info@jmat4youth.com
