Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Each One Reach One (EORO) will conduct six cycles of our national-award winning Playwriting Program. Since 1998, our arts programming has exposed youth engaged with the juvenile justice system to the expressive and healing power of playwriting while giving voice to a population too often voiceless.
Organization Summary
EORO’s ADAPT Model is a multifaceted approach, offering incarcerated, probationary, and transition-aged youth (TAY) nationally renowned arts education, one-on-one academic tutoring, and gender-specific health and life skills courses.
• In the Playwriting Program, artist-mentors pair 1:1 with a youth to create an original play that professional actors perform inside the facility/school before a live audience of community members.
• Academic Study Halls connect trained volunteer tutors 1:1 with incarcerated youth, helping youth earn a GED or high school diploma, prepare for the college placement tests, or develop math or English skills.
• Healthy Choices for Girls and Keeping It Safe (KIS) are a gender specific health/life skills course, teaching about sexual exploitation, dating/domestic violence, unwanted pregnancies, STDs like HIV/AIDS, healthy relationships skills, and the consequences of gang involvement.
