Our Vision
Transforming community through reconciliation
Our Mission:
To utilize expressive arts as a platform for youth to cry out for social justice in the community WHAT WE DO:
• Provide a safe place for youth to express themselves creatively and emotionally, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, age, disability, national origin, and religion.
• Educate youth on issues of poverty, diversity, sexuality, and spirituality.
• Promote the values of justice and freedom in society.
• Develop leaders who will speak up, serve, and impact their community in positive ways.
• Serve as an advocate for education to the youth, offering tutoring and pathways to additional educational services.
• Provide optional Bible study for those interested in learning more about Christianity and social justice. PROGRAMS
