YG2D is a 501(c)3 non-profit brining diverse communities creatively into the conversation of death and dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality, with concerts, open mics, workshops for the general population, and programming specific to hospice patients, cancer patients, and our prison community.

  • We host shows, performances and workshops in accordance with our mission. These take the form of small group workshops, open mics, and larger benefit concerts. We held 28 events throughout the year, both online and in person. We served over 3,600 individuals through these events throughout the year.

  • Alive Inside is our prison program. We work inside prisons, including San Quentin in California and Marion and London Correctional Institutions in Ohio to bring music, creative writing workshops, and performance opportunities to incarcerated individuals. Our Executive Director, Ned Buskirk, is a weekly facilitator for the Light Keepers, a peer support suicide prevention program inside San Quentin. Our team also works with groups of exonerated individuals who were wrongfully convicted, through workshops and retreats with the Ohio Innocence Project. In 2022 we facilitated 10 workshops and one weekend retreat for exonerated individuals, facilitated a program at the annual Innocence Network Conference, and facilitated programs inside three prisons. In 2022, our Alive Inside program served approximately 400 incarcerated or exonerated individuals and their family members.
