Guitars 4 Vets
Over the past twelve years, our organization has refined a guitar
instruction program aimed at providing Veterans struggling with physical
injuries, PTSD, and other emotional distress a unique therapeutic
alternative. G4V pursues its mission to share the healing power of music
by providing free guitar instruction, a new acoustic guitar and a
guitar accessory kit in a structured program run by volunteers,
primarily through the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities and
community-based medical centers.
