Team OYOU is actively engaged in community outreach throughout Texas, providing a wide range of music and writing programs in libraries, schools, senior living facilities, and day camps for individuals with special needs.

If you're interested in volunteering and becoming part of our mission, please reach out to us via email and include "Playing for Good" in the subject line.

To get a better sense of our offerings, we invite you to explore our calendar of events.

Each fall, OYOU hosts an annual fundraiser and festival that has evolved over the years. Originally launched as “Playing for Good,” it later became known as “Tammi Fest” and then “OYOU Fest.” We’re excited to return to our roots by reinstating the name “Playing for Good” for our ticketed fundraising event. Meanwhile, OYOU Fest will be reimagined as a separate, free festival for the entire community to enjoy.

Empowering Through the Arts 

Terri Hendrix was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of twenty-one, but rather than allowing her health challenges to define her, she turned to her music, writing, and the creative arts as a means to thrive both personally and professionally. Through her own journey, Terri discovered her true passion: to inspire others by introducing them to a diverse range of artistic expressions. She believes in providing the tools and pathways for individuals to live their best lives, regardless of the obstacles they may face. 

Her vision began with the idea of creating an inclusive space where everyone—regardless of financial circumstances, social or mobility challenges, age, or gender—can explore and enjoy the creative arts without fear of bias or discrimination. The HeartSong Project: In line with this mission, Terri Hendrix has developed The HeartSong Project, a

program designed to accommodate individuals with cognitive impairments. She works with participants of all ages, including both verbal and nonverbal students.

Program Details: 

- The HeartSong Project caters to groups of up to 12 students but can also be customized for smaller groups or individual sessions. 

- Sessions range from an immersive all-day experience of approximately 4 to 6 hours, complete with breaks, to shorter sessions lasting 45 to 60 minutes. 

- Terri is flexible and adjusts her schedule to meet the needs of both the students and the

facility. At the conclusion of the workshop, a student concert is often

organized for family and friends, showcasing the creativity and progress made during the sessions.

Experience Locations: 

Terri has shared her passion  at various organizations, including: 

- Chase's Place, Richardson, TX 

- Bugle Boy Foundation (And Then a New Day, Kenmar Foundation), La Grange, TX, and
