JOHN JOST
SUMMER CAMP FUND
After a transformational first visit to Haiti, John Jost returned to teach at summer music camps for the next 40 years. Join John in supporting music education in Haiti today by donating to the John Jost Summer Scholarships Fund.
Summer camp scholarships create opportunities for musicians across the country to improve their skills, connect with other musicians from across the country and be mentored by local and international teaching artists throughout an intensive 3-week period.
For many, this is their first exposure to a world beyond their home music program and is the only time of year when students receive access to healthy meals and clean water.
$150 sends one student to camp
$250 covers a student’s tuition and transportation
John Jost is the inspiration behind so much of the work we do in Haiti. A passionate educator, musician, and humanitarian, he believed in the power of music to transform lives and build community. It was John who first introduced our executive director to Haiti in 1996, setting in motion a journey that would lead to the founding of BLUME Haiti and a lifelong commitment to supporting Haitian musicians and music education.
The John Jost Legacy Circle honors his impact by recognizing those who choose to make a lasting impact through planned giving. By including BLUME Haiti in your will or estate plans, you help ensure that future generations of Haitian musicians will have access to the education, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive. Your legacy will sustain the work that John so deeply believed in—nurturing talent, fostering resilience, and using music as a force for hope, joy, and change.
