STREETLINE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit percussion troupe that provides music education, personal enrichment, and character development for underprivileged youth in the middle Georgia and surrounding areas. Since 2009 STREETLINE has been providing 40+ youths with inspirational and motivational activities and workshops that are designed to encourage personal growth, strengthen moral character, improve self-esteem, and develop leadership abilities.
Our organization relies on the generosity of individuals like you.
Macon Georgia is flooded with unnecessary crime & senseless killings. The threat of Libraries & recreational center closings leaves children with even less hope. STREETLINE has been a mainstream alternative to the negative plague that has polluted our inner city youths. STREETLINE is serving well over 15 Bibb county schools, assisting members with college, military & technical school opportunities. STREETLINE also assist with resumes, provide counseling services, tutoring and parenting support. STREETLINE is growing and STREETLINE is needed. STREETLINE is… stepping up, to the Next Level. Additional funding is needed for traveling, instruments, uniforms, and other necessities that are vital to the continuation of this Life Saving and Changing program. Operating on a shoestring budget has long past. Teens are lost and are in need of proper mentoring. They are dying and painting this beautiful city ugly.
Founded in 2009, STREETLINE has had a significant presence in the Macon community and its surrounding area, impacting more than 300 youth with little or no hope by transforming them into talented, responsible, disciplined percussionists. Since our founding, STREETLINE has been under the continuous, committed leadership of Mrs. Charlene Waller, CEO, Mercer University Social Science & Criminology Graduate and Founder Mr. Cedavean Waller, Creative Director, Edward Waters College former Drum Major and Music Percussion Graduate. STREETLINE has several certified volunteers that graciously give their time and energy to the cause of Transforming young lives….one drum beat at a time.
There are few affordable opportunities for underprivileged youth in Macon to participate in positive activities that are related to the cultural and performing arts. STREETLINE has no participation fees and offers underprivileged youth a wholesome alternative to ‘the streets’ by providing education in music theory, percussion fundamentals, showmanship and musicianship. As a critical component of STREETLINE we would like to reward and incentivize excellence demonstrated by taking the members on annual expeditions to various colleges outside of Macon Ga. It’s imperative our members experience the vision we have set in place. We are Macon… a DRUMAZING Difference.
