Founded in 2021, Jail Guitar Doors’ C.A.P.O. (Community Arts Programming & Outreach) Center exists to offer creative alternatives to vulnerable, under-resourced populations through music and arts education and activities.
Our programs empower system-impacted and justice-involved youth to develop their talents and capacities; disrupt systemic root causes of inequality, poverty, and racism; and advocate for families and communities impacted by the carceral system.
We provide a supportive, creative community and work toward pathways to meaningful employment for these young people and recently returned residents.
The C.A.P.O. Center houses our state-of-the-art All One! recording studio, film & computer lab, dance & performance space, classroom, and podcast studio.
Youth Circle For Mental Health
AT THE C.A.P.O. CENTER
Join us every Friday for our Never a Bother Youth Circle for Mental Health.
Our circles are free and open to all, offering weekly group sessions and one-on-one therapy led by Licensed Clinical Social Workers.
Because you are Never a Bother, and healing happens in community.
Fresh Tracks is a 12-week multimedia youth learning program at The C.A.P.O. Center, supported by AHJNetwork members, JGD-USA, and Street Poets Inc.
Students rotate through four stations—beatmaking, music production, film, and creative writing—creating original songs and collaborating on a group track and music video.
This program empowers system-impacted youth, with graduates returning as mentors to continue the cycle of support.
