Mission
We engage vulnerable youth in Arts & Leadership enrichment programs that connect them to culture and prepare them for higher education, careers, entrepreneurship and economic prosperity. All programs integrate the Arts and our one-of-a-kind SMART Conversations® social-emotional learning platform.

Vision
We envision that all voices are heard and respected in organizations and in society on a global scale.

Our Principles
We were founded on the principle that everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. It doesn’t matter what religion you follow, or if you follow any religion at all. It doesn’t matter if your skin is light or dark or some shade in between. It doesn’t matter if you dropped out of high school or if you earned a doctorate. It doesn’t matter how big your house is. It doesn’t matter how full your wallet is. You are a human being, and you are valuable.
