What it says it does
The purpose of this program is to help keep children off of drugs, out of the streets, and out of gangs. Strengthen families, give back to the community, and help the environment. To support/ help children succeed academically, by giving them positive choices to choose from, to help children find ways to handle their emotions and their relationships with others without shooting and killing each other. We serve inner/outer of city students ages 5 high school, to succeed academically by giving them choices to choose from something positive. An alternative to participate in a positive performing arts/theater and television program as opposed to other negative activities. They become committed to excellence in a tradition of learning and culture. Since TEs involve children from low-income to dysfunctional families, at risk, low self - esteem, space and financial assistance is greatly needed
