A Studio is a community center, designed as a reproducible model, envisioned as a place where young people can find activities that help with their physical, mental and emotional growth and development. A variety of activities are available within the areas of academic, physical, health, environmental and cultural education which will supplement and assist in their mandatory education. The Studio is intended to motivate students to have more interest in school while having fun and filling their time with educational and healthy activities.
Our first priority is to provide youth a safe, supervised environment in which to study and play while they are not in school. This program will provide snacks and supplemental meals as well as basic tutorial assistance to help with schoolwork. The Studio is open to all members of the community.
An extended goal for the Studio is adult vocational training programs to promote legal employment and participation in a globalized world. These programs provide avenues for positive involvement in the community and a second chance at a sustainable lifestyle.
Unlike traditional nonprofit models, this comprehensive project will concurrently provide supplemental education, nutrition and improved living environments to communities in the developing world. These basic elements, addressed in unison, create a solid foundation upon which participants can successfully work towards realizing their dreams.
