Zumix is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) cultural organization dedicated to building community through music and the arts. Located in East Boston, MA, ZUMIX provides top-quality cultural programming as an alternative way for young people to deal with frustration, anger and fear, and as a method of building cultural understanding and acceptance in one of Boston's most diverse neighborhoods.

Founded in 1991 in response to a wave of youth violence in Boston, Zumix was built on a simple idea – every child needs something to feel passionate about, and for many teens their passion is music.  By 1996, Zumix had already expanded its service offerings two times, culminating with the establishment of their Community Arts programs that exist today.
