JAM Kids brings weekly small-group music instruction to the Learning Center at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum through a new partnership with Junior Appalachian Musicians. Designed for children in grades 4-8 and beyond, these year-round classes explore traditional Appalachian sounds on acoustic instruments such as guitar, banjo, and fiddle. Students may bring their own instruments, and loaners can be provided for the length of a child’s participation. Instructors may add other instruments as the program develops, and new students are welcome to begin at any time. Registration is required. Weekly enrollment is first come, first served and limited to 30 students, so registration confirms eligibility but does not secure a spot for a particular session. Families may complete the registration form in advance or fill it out at the museum’s front desk upon arrival. The cost is $5 per class or $45 for a package of 10 lessons.

A community clothing closet is offering free support for neighbors across the city and nearby communities. Families and individuals in need can find clothes and shoes, with the opportunity to fill a bag at no cost. The focus is on serving others and helping the region through care and kindness.
