To build generational wealth for families and entrepreneurs creating self-sufficiency, economic mobility, and a more equitable society.
To amplify and accelerate the economic and equity transformation of black and brown communities.
Amped is a family-oriented ecosystem that emphasizes creativity and self-sustainability through music, education, technology, and business. Amped delivers this ecosystem through the programs below.
Amped is one of the few Black-founded and Black-led nonprofits in Jefferson County and our team is directly connected to the work in the community. Both o Our Music Academy (Chickasaw neighborhood) and, Business Incubator and Innovation Center (Russell neighborhood) are all located in Louisville’s West End. Due to issues of systemic racism such as redlining, there has been a lack of investment in the area. We know that the talent is here in the West End, but there must be investment of resources and capital. Amped is working to lift up our community from within by creating economic empowerment, ownership, and independence using music, technology, business, and love as our super power!
