Guitars For Vets - Martinsburg, WV

Mission: To provide veterans with an alternative therapeutic outlet through music.

Guitars 4 Vets is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to providing relief to struggling veterans through the healing power of music and community. We provide music lessons and equipment to Veterans in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.

Since 2007, Guitars for Vets has served at-risk United States Veterans impacted by PTSD and other service-related trauma. The weekly guitar lessons provided by our volunteers are individualized and designed to help students learn at their own pace. Monthly group sessions are organized at each chapter to provide Veterans a communal atmosphere to talk and continue to play music with peers who have shared similar experiences. In G4V group sessions, the connection created between individuals who are both warriors AND guitar players serves as a catalyst for positive human interaction.

Through our unique, 10-week structured guitar instruction program, we put the healing power of music in the hands of our nation’s heroes, helping to foster renewal, connection and community.
