Statement of Care: “A community's level of awareness of the environment in which our youth are growing up is directly proportional to their growth and development. Music and multimedia serve as both a barrier and a bridge between our youth and the systems designed to support them. Growth and overall wellness come from healthy outlets of self-expression.”
