Uke 'N Play

What started as a small idea to have live music in our theater shows has grown into its own dynamic program.

Many years ago, OHOM was gifted several dozen ukuleles from Steve Einhorn, the former owner of Artichoke Music. After repeated requests from the women, Don Kern stepped into the role of Lead Facilitator.

The women at Coffee Creek can borrow a ukulele for the duration of their time in the program. We have seasonal recitals to showcase their work and spread the joy of music.

“I have enjoyed very much learning to play the ukulele. I’ve learned multiple songs and am proud of what I can play in 3 short months. I wish we could take our ukulele home when we leave but that’s okay.” ~incarcerated colleague

Would you like to donate a ukulele to a returning citizen?
