The Urban Skillz project will see young people taking part in a range of creative music workshops, which will be run through the charity's groups across the UK.
The workshops, led by professional tutors, will cover topics such as music production, DJing and MCing. The aim is to boost young people's self-esteem, help them gain new skills and develop their creativity.
Adam Brown, the programme's co-ordinator, said Urban Skillz would give young people a path away from crime.
