LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Volunteers have helped to renovate a building into a recording studio for Louisville kids.
Today, 65 volunteers from local Lowe's stores worked at the Flaget Community Center on Greenwood Avenue. They painted, built storage areas for instruments, and landscaped.
It's all in support of the AMPED organization.
"They really work with the kids to learn how to play music, perform, produce, write," said Chris Beisler, manager of the Bashford Manor Lane Lowe's store. "Just an overall program where it helps them coming in, and they get a new experience, and set them on the right path to something new."
"We want to give them something they use that's of value that they can empower themselves," said Dave Christopher, a co-founder of AMPED. "You don't have the excuse that someone can't hire you because you can hire yourself. If I know how to be a photographer or videographer, or I know how to work a mixing board or I can write songs, I can sing, I can perform, I can do all these things. Then I can go out there and do that for myself."
Christopher says he co-founded AMPED after he noticed more and more kids getting into trouble.
It's supported completely by volunteers.
