KBAQ: Marvin Scott of Rosie’s House

Discover the heart of Rosie’s House through the inspiring journey of Marvin Scott, Program & Community Engagement Director. From humble beginnings teaching saxophone to just a handful of students in the late ’90s, Scott built his path from musician to educator—earning his degree, teaching in Phoenix schools, and even abroad in Istanbul—only to return home and lead Rosie’s House’s mission. His story highlights how a simple family reunion sparked his passion, and how now, under his guidance, the nonprofit serves over 500 youth with free music instruction, mentorship, and college-prep support—boasting a 97% college enrollment rate among its graduates.
