Founded in 2021, The C.A.P.O. Center at Jail Guitar Doors (Community, Arts, Programming, & Outreach) exists to offer creative alternatives to vulnerable, under-resourced populations through music and arts education and apprenticeships.

 

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 long-term 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 sponsored by Dr. Bronner's Soaps, a film and computer lab, a dance and performance space, a classroom, and a podcast studio.

Fresh Tracks is a 12-week multimedia youth learning program at The C.A.P.O. Center, supported by The Arts for Healing and Justice Network (AHJN) 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 who graduate and return as mentors and teaching artists to continue the cycle of support.
