Recognizing that there is nothing more important than our youth, kickstarted with a generous donation by the Carolyn Mattingly Memorial Fund, in 2002 Golden Isles Live! adds a student outreach program.  Introducing students to music they may never have been exposed to while in an adult concert setting has a myriad of teaching moments.   Since then, performances and performer interactions have been provided to audiences consisting of more than 1,500 elementary, middle, high and home school students.  Youth involvement has become one of the most important strengths that Golden Isles Live does!
