Mission: To reduce the effects of bullying/abuse in children by building confidence and self-esteem through the Performing Arts.

Results: Changed a pre-teen from being extremely introverted and self-conscious to a soloist singer who now sings for friends, family, and audiences and significant venues. She has now started studying Opera as well as popular music. The children in our summer program went from sad to happy in moments. Before they could hardly talk to people and then they were singing and dancing!!
