We truly love working with Teri Hendrix and being a part of her Song Buddies Workshop. The magic she brings to our young adults is nothing short of incredible. Each year, we find ourselves asking how it could possibly be topped—and every year, she exceeds all expectations. We are deeply grateful for her extraordinary talent, compassion, and the genuine love and respect she shows our young adults at And Then. The confidence, joy, and sense of belonging this experience creates is powerful, lasting, and truly meaningful.

The OYOU is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Marcos and Martindale, Texas. Our mission is to make the arts accessible to everyone and to empower and transform lives by connecting the mind, body, and spirit through music and the creative arts.

Because accessibility starts with affordability, we keep our events free or low-cost, and we provide a robust scholarship program to ensure no one is turned away. Every program empowers individuals to explore music, creative writing, the arts, and personal growth in a supportive and inclusive community.
