Meet the Sing for Smiles Team

Sing for Smiles is a youth-led 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to enriching the lives of senior citizens through the healing power of music. Our mission is to bring joy, connection, and memory back to residents in local retirement homes and memory care facilities through the power of live music.

Research indicates that music can evoke memories and emotions, particularly for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. At Sing for Smiles, our team of young volunteers performs meaningful songs, engages residents through familiar tunes, and creates shared moments that spark recognition and connection. We have seen residents light up, sing along, and recall cherished memories—sometimes for the first time in months—because of the music we share.

As a youth-led, community-centered organization, we are passionate about combining artistry with service. By blending compassion, creativity, and community engagement, Sing for Smiles seeks to make a lasting impact, making every visit a reminder that no one is ever alone.
