Divine House of Music
Continuing in the Passion of Mother Jones
Welcome to the Divine House of Music, where we believe in the transformative power of music to enrich lives and build communities. Nestled in the heart of Blue Mountain, Mississippi, our organization is dedicated to using music as a dynamic force for personal and communal growth.
We offer a range of programs designed to empower both youth and adults, helping them develop their musical talents and enhance their life skills.
Why We Must Act Now
Under 30%
of low-income students enroll in a 4-year course in MS, and among them, less than 50% successfully graduate.
Only 24.8%
of adults aged 25 and older in Mississippi have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, as opposed to 35% nationally.
Over 28%
of Mississippi's adult population have low literacy skills, highlighting the need for more programs and educational resources.
Over 480k
individuals experience food insecurity in Mississippi. Alarmingly, over 1 in 5 children (18.8%) regularly go to bed hungry.
Over 19%
of the MS population lives below the U.S. federal poverty line. Less than $14,580 per year for a single-person household.
