WHO, WHAT & WHY
MMAP Workshops (Music Mentoring Arts & Poetry) is a forward-thinking, innovative organisation recognised for its leading work in PSHE, early intervention, alternative provision, and extracurricular programmes. Founded by professional youth mentor and respected artist Quinton Green, who has over 20 years’ experience in the music industry and is a published spoken word artist commissioned by organisations including BBC Radio, Essex Police, UNICEF, and the United Nations, MMAP places young people and adults at the centre of personal growth and positive change.
Through a creative, holistic approach using poetry, performing arts, and spoken word, participants build confidence, empathy, and critical thinking while exploring key social issues, setting meaningful goals, and developing the practical skills needed to succeed in education, work, and everyday life as independent and valued members of society.

THE
TEAM
NATURE & NURTURE
Our practitioners use their lived experience to connect meaningfully with children and young people who are often considered hard to reach. We are committed to engaging as widely as possible across schools, youth clubs, and pupil referral units, delivering a message rooted in empowerment, encouragement, and motivation. Our work focuses on building resilience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence - protective factors proven to reduce risky behaviour - while consistently striving to uplift those who have fallen, restore confidence, and re-inspire those who feel discouraged.
Our
Studio
Get Creative
2026 marks an incredible new step in our journey as we opened our new studio space in Northampton. Easily accessible from the M1, this studio is a relaxed environment set up with high-standard equipment suitable for music lessons and production, DJ training, podcasting, writing and multimedia (video and photography) including a full-wall green screen.
OUR WORK
WORKSHOPS
The Purpose of MMAP WORKSHOPS is to put Students at the heart of a process change/growth and to encourage each cohort to engage in transformative behaviour. Students are often asked to plan long and short term goals with the tutor (and facilitators) as part of an interactive Music Course, with Songwriting, Recording and Production at its core. Achievements are celebrated and commended as part of a reward based module that nurtures strengths and identifies weaknesses.

TO SUCCESS & opportunity
Quinton uses his lived experience to build trust and strong, respectful relationships with learners, showing how creative writing, poetry, and the arts can be powerful tools for self-expression, reflection, and emotional release. Music and creativity are central to the workshops, helping participants articulate ideas from both individual and group perspectives. MMAP Workshops encourage young people and adults to use techniques such as Mind MMAPs and free writing to communicate their thoughts and feelings, with the overall aim of educating and empowering learners by providing a safe, supportive space to build confidence and map their own path to success.
