The AAMC operates the Music Resource Center, an after-school music program for teenagers in the Duluth-Superior area. The mission of the Music Resource Center is to educate and inspire young people, and through music equip them with life skills for the future. We accomplish this mission through music education and performance opportunities, as well as life skills mentoring. The MRC, now in its 13th year, we were very excited to hire a new Director this year due to three grants. Shawna Weaver started in February and reopened the MRC to in person student attendance in April of 2023. The MRC program has grown under the guidance of Shawna including more students, instructors, and outreach.
