With the support from California Arts Council, The Outkast Academy will continue to provide accessible arts and enrichment programs to vulnerable youth across Los Angeles to develop them as young leaders and artists for the sake of their communities.
Our Dance & Mentorship program combines dance and mentoring to give youth and children an opportunity to healthily express themselves and to grow into the leaders of the next generation. Through this program, students receive training in fundamentals, choreography, and performance in various dance styles. Students also go through a mentorship curriculum aimed towards equipping them will skills and tools needed beyond the classroom, such as but not limited to, healthy communication and conflict resolution. By combining such activities, students discover the power of the arts all while they develop into strong young leaders.
Our Academics program exists to equip every student with the proper tools to succeed in their classrooms. Our staff and volunteers work directly with students through academic counseling, tutoring, and college and career readiness workshops to prepare them for every potential challenge. Our students learn that education goes beyond the classroom and there is always an opportunity to learn something new.
