My Guest was Joanne Klauke-LaBelle

Joanne Klauke-LaBelle is the founder of Harmony for Youth, a program that allows at-risk youth the opportunity to learn to express themselves through music. Begun in Canada, the organization now has chapters internationally.

Among the most interesting aspects of the program is that participants pay no fees, but rather are expected to "pay it forward" by volunteering 1 hour of service for each hour of participation in the Harmony programs.
