Our Mission is to enrich educational experiences of under-served students through project-based learning, which supports our vision of empowering youth to reach their potential by offering engaging educational opportunities rooted in arts and culture. Our programming focuses on the importance of arts and culture, and why it is a relevant and necessary part of a healthy, happy and vibrant community. Our goals focus on creating connections between people, neighborhoods, and cultures in order to highlight their similarities rather than their differences. We provide opportunities for individuals to find their voice by using science, technology, engineering, art, and math to create connections, build creative confidence, and inspire them to be confident drivers of artistic and educational excellence. This is especially important since we are nestled in Silicon Valley where creativity and innovation is a necessary attribute for technology careers.
