SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR
Monica co-founded Sing for Hope with fellow soprano Camille Zamora in 2006. Sing for Hope is a non-profit organization that mobilizes artists in service to benefit communities in need and presents creative projects - such as the Sing for Hope Pianos - that make the arts available to all.
Sing for Hope’s programming ranges from arts workshops that improve academic outcomes for at-risk students, to specialized music programs that enhance cognition for dementia patients, to arts interventions that facilitate integration for refugee youth, to the Sing for Hope Pianos that unite communities in our world’s public spaces. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and in partnership with hundreds of community-based organizations and thousands of artist partners, SFH uses the creative arts for healing, learning, and social cohesion.
