Programs described in its return (1)
- $230,756 spent. During the economic year end 2025 two semesters and one summer programs were delivered. They included one theater and one dance cohort per period. A total of 155 participants for theater and dance were impacted. Programs consisted of 12 weeks per semester and 2 weeks for the summer. The objective is to provide new skills promote the development of interpersonal relations provide socio emotional support and expose participants to new experiences that allows them to improve their quality of life and achieve social mobility. Each cohort finishes with a presentation of the skills acquired to parents and general public.
