While in the program at the Soldiers Home the students are provided loaner guitars that the staff purchased with Grant money. After 10 weeks the graduates get a package provided by G4 V and their sponsors which contains a brand new guitar, strap, case, stand, capo, pics, music book, extra strings, and guitar care kit. From that point they can participate in the local chapter that has group jam sessions etc. My particular group is a little different because they are actually living at the Soldiers Home. But we are getting more graduates through the program so now they are getting together as a group to continue their guitar journey. When they get permanent housing hopefully there will be a nearby chapter they can participate in with other guitar players.
