Our Get Empowered team has a saying > At any age, when you get empowered… pay it forward and empower others! We are asking for your help to save and sustain several of our youth programs facing devastating cutbacks affecting our elementary - high school students (ages 5-18) at year-round sites in NY, CA and other communities nationwide.

🦋 Please consider joining our incredible community of supporters and donation angels > ANY and every donation amount has an impact and makes an immediate difference for our beloved kids. Fundraising will help us salvage lost programs for our youth and continue to engage and teach them: music, art, dance, drumming, Capoeira, theater arts, fitness, yoga, circus arts, mindfulness, tap dance, hip hop, poetry, sports, culinary arts, social-emotional wellness games, leadership development, and STEM. 🎭🎨🖌🥋🧘‍♂️⚽🥁💃

🙏We humbly thank all of you for believing in our mission to educate, encourage, engage, and elevate youth and communities through our Cultural Arts, Education, and Wellness programming. These programs are vital resources to so many of our underserved and underfunded schools, community programs, and shelters. Many of our youth get their only hot meal of the day and important social-emotional provisions during our programs. The recent cut-backs and frozen contracts are having heartbreaking affects. Our team won't give up on trying to keep programming alive and thriving. We know the power of the Arts and caring people like you. 💓
