Mission Veterans: Guitar Lessons Cancelled
We are hopeful to have this Free Program run this upcoming Fall 2025 semester.
Mission Veteran is a non-profit organization created by Veterans with the goal of assisting Veterans with the trauma, obstacles, and stressors that veterans face. We are proud to announce that one of their music programs is coming to CMC. The Guitar Lessons course is a relaxing, two-month course dedicated to ensuring that participants engage in a fun, social interaction aimed at helping veterans express themselves through music. It is a guitar course aimed at beginners, especially those that have never picked up a guitar before. Practice guitars are provided free of charge, on behalf of Mission Veteran, and upon completion of the course, participants will walk away not only with a new hobby and outlet, but a brand-new guitar. *Enrollment is limited to U.S. veterans and military personnel.
