The Change the World Initiative
Loco Boys brings music, mentorship, and real action to families in need, homeless communities, and children's hospitals across Detroit.
3 ways we show up for Detroit youth
The Change the World Initiative turns music, mentorship, and giving into real action for Detroit families, students, and kids in hospitals.
Youth mentorship
One-on-one and group mentorship that meets Detroit students where they are, with real goals and real follow-through.
Holiday giving
Seasonal drives that put gifts, meals, and essentials into the hands of families who need them most.
Hospital visits
Live music and encouragement for kids in children's hospitals, turning tough days into brighter ones.
Volunteers who show up, kids who feel seen
Every outreach event pairs Detroit volunteers with local youth and families. Music, mentorship, and real connection, all in one afternoon.
Real programs, real impact, real Detroit stories
From schools to shelters, our outreach delivers more than a show. It delivers connection, confidence, and a reason to believe.
The assembly wasn't just entertainment. My students walked out repeating the lyrics about staying in school and believing in themselves. That's the kind of message that sticks.

Principal, Detroit Middle School
They brought the MY-T literacy program to our after-school center. Kids who usually avoid reading were asking for the workbook. That's a win we haven't seen before.

Youth Program Director
Loco Boys came through during our holiday drive. The energy they brought to the families, the kids' faces lighting up, it made the whole event feel like more than just a handout.
