Community Outreach & Partners
Music is meant to be shared. GuitarsGivingBack is a welcoming music community that hopes to use performances, teaching, and partnerships to encourage neighbors across central Ohio — including those facing difficult seasons. Learn about our outreach vision and our first community partner, Silver Bay Insurance.
Our Outreach Vision
At GuitarsGivingBack, "Give Back" is more than a slogan; it is the animating spirit of our social club. While we gather to play and build friendships, our members share a sincere hope of carrying that music outward into the Columbus community — through gentle performances, patient teaching, and supportive local partnerships.
We look forward to developing opportunities where club members can play uplifting acoustic songs at community gatherings, neighborhood parks, cultural events, and welcoming public spaces where live music brings warmth and companionship.
Above all, we hope our music can be a small encouragement to neighbors facing challenges — including those affected by cancer and their families. A song shared with care cannot take away hardship, but we believe it can offer comfort, dignity, and a reminder that someone nearby is thinking of them. These are aspirations we are nurturing as a community, not a formal charity program.
How We Hope to Help
Our outreach values are centered around human connection, encouragement, and shared music. These are hopes we are nurturing together — not promises of a formal program.
Encouraging Performances
Sharing gentle, heartwarming acoustic song sessions at local Columbus community spaces and neighborhood gatherings — including for neighbors facing difficult seasons.
Companionship Through Music
We hope to offer music as comfort and companionship for those affected by cancer and other challenges — never as a medical treatment, simply as kindness shared through song.
Teaching & Mentorship
Sharing musical knowledge freely, mentoring beginners, and welcoming all-ages song circles where aspiring players can listen, sing, or strum along.
