“It was the thing to do after school instead of being outside or doing something that could possibly get you in trouble,” he said.
One of the programs Jordan was in is Neighborhood Opportunity Networks, or NeON Arts. It’s part of New York City’s Department of Probation and is managed by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute.
