Plugged In is a non-profit program for teenagers that teaches kids how to be in a rock band by using music to make positive change in the world. Three times a year, there are benefit concerts where students vote to choose the organization for which the concert will raise money. Plugged In is about bringing young people together through music, teaching them the importance of using their music to better the world, and helping them gain self-confidence.
