Organization History
Little Kids Rock formally became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2002. However, the roots of the program date back to 1996 when David Wish, an elementary school teacher, began giving free guitar lessons to his students. After a short time, he started recruiting other volunteers to help him with his efforts. In 2002, he left the classroom to found Little Kids Rock, bringing the grassroots program from San Francisco to New York and taking it to several other cities in the following years.
