Since our doors opened we have created partnerships with various community agencies and local governments including local police departments to bring participants to various concerts, museums, circuses, plays and unique events at premier venues in addition to teaching various life skill training by allowing our participants to not only engage the served communities by creating and performing every aspect of a performance from management to actual performing various events.

It is our goal to reach adults and at-risk children from low-income families and focus on helping to end the poverty cycle by providing both referrals and actual opportunity leads to all participants who have been stricken with homelessness, incarceration or other issues that prevent the family from ending the poverty cycle.
