About
We are a charitable organization running urban arts and wellness mentorships to youth (12-24) who are involved or at-risk of involvement with the justice system. Our mentors are urban art professionals (dj, mc/hiphop, graffiti, music producers, dancers) and/or wellness professionals (trauma healing, reiki) with lived experience. Our mentorships involve skills building through urban art to encourage a creative outlet, goal-setting, mental health/trauma healing, coping strategies, relationship development, self-advocacy , employment readiness to support high-risk/at-risk youth in making positive changes.
