ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Aug. 31, 2018 - PRLog -- Earth, Wind & Fire lead singer Philip Bailey's Music Is Unity (MIU) foundation, California-based Foster Youth in Action and the Youth Advisory Network, a program operated by South Jersey nonprofit organization Robins' Nest Inc. focused on developing new and positive ways to incorporate youth voice and leadership into state-funded programs,have partnered to offer a "Backstage Soundcheck" experience,  an empowering opportunity for local foster youth, designed to develop their interest in careers in the music industry.  The "Backstage Soundcheck" tour takes place when the legendary band performs at the Borgata in Atlantic City on September 2.  Prior to the show, Bailey and other representatives from the band will conduct a behind-the-scenes tour with the group of young people that will include an exclusive and intimate sound check experience.

Singer/musician Philip Bailey and his daughter Trinity Bailey founded the Music Is Unity Foundation in 2007 to realize their dream of giving back to the community by investing in agencies that support foster youth as they transition into adulthood.  In 2008, MIU partnered with advocacy organization Foster Youth in Action to combine resources to best address the various issues surrounding youth in foster care. At Earth, Wind & Fire concerts throughout the United States and at special events with foster and emancipating youth, these two nonprofits provide opportunities for local organizations to become involved in supporting foster and emancipating youth.

"Being a young adult in foster care at 18 is challenging," said Philip Bailey.  "It's a time of confusion for kids trying to determine the next phase of their lives.  With the 'Backstage Soundcheck' initiative, our goal is to expose kids who love music to the many career opportunities in this industry.  Through our partnership with Foster Youth in Action and local organizations, we hope to empower youth by offering a new pathway to success."

The Music Is Unity Foundation's mission is to financially support agencies that provide programming that enhances the ability of foster youth to transition successfully to adulthood.

About Foster Youth in Action
Foster Youth in Action was founded in 2008 by young organizers and supportive adults with California Youth Connection (CYC). This grassroots, statewide, foster youth led organization  had a powerful vision of a national community of organized groups and young leaders working locally, regionally, and nationally to ensure that the diverse voices of foster youth were truly represented.  Starting California Youth Connection and then Oregon Foster Youth Connection, our family of youth-led groups has grown to 23 partners in twenty states.
