An active arts education philanthropist and advocate, Groban, a member of Americans for the Arts Artists Committee. Groban’s Find Your Light Foundation helps enrich the lives of young people through arts, education, and cultural awareness. It covers a wide array of possibilities, from providing instruments and funding for arts programs in schools to introducing people to the arts and culture around them —and even the world — through the use of technology. Josh explains, “The combination of my personal experience and a belief that the arts help shape and change the lives of children and young adults for the better, and the sobering reality that these are the exact programs that are being cut from our schools and society at a drastic rate, make me more attuned than ever to the need for this focus. I have seen these opportunities change lives.”
