We are here for you, at no cost.
Why the arts?
It is proven that youth who participate regularly in the arts (three hours/day or three days/week for a year) are four times more likely to be recognized for their academic achievement, eight times more likely to receive a community service award, three times more likely to win a school attendance award and four times more likely to participate in a math or science fair. High-quality afterschool arts education is a successful tool of engagement in improving educational outcomes among youth, especially those who appear to be disengaged from learning.
Immersive arts with professional artists.
DCAT will ignite a student’s creative potential!
Arts programming will be delivered through an apprentice-inspired structure where students work alongside professional artists in dedicated studio spaces that are equipped with industry-standard resources.
For Arts programs, we are considering:
· Musical Arts/ Recording Studio
· Ceramic Arts
· Visual Arts
· Digital Arts
But we want to hear from our youth. What do you want to see?
Igniting potential
That’s what success looks like to us. We also want to see our students:
Successfully transition from grade to grade on time
Graduate from high school
Stay in the program until graduation and attend regularly
Pursue higher education.
Through mentorship and teamwork, students will also learn discipline and resilience, while building their self-esteem.
