Our goal is to give our youth hope, motivation, and courage to live for something above and beyond the lure of a life of crime and dependency. Reeds Refuge has created the āSTREAM (Science, Reading, Arts, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programā which provides students the ability to productively engage in the process of developing, exercising, and executing relevant life and career skills. This will assist Reeds Refuge Center in providing students with the understanding of a variety of STREAM careers related to a multitude of professional industries. Reeds Refuge has a parent center designed to help families as a collective unity. We are here because we know these children and families need us. Our youth are falling through the cracks at such an alarming rate! They are becoming victim to guns, drugs, violence, teen pregnancy, lack of education, verbal and sexual abuse and idle minds. Itās our belief that by stimulating the minds of these impressionable children through the arts, weāll open a pathway to their hearts. Itās our hope that these creative outlets will allow our youth the ventilation that is needed to release the anger, animosity, anxiety, rejection, peer pressure and instability they face everyday.
