About the project
Offer children the opportunity to broaden their opportunities through extra curricular activities by providing instruction in the art of cheerleading and Dance. In doing so, I am teaching them coordination, teamwork, physical fitness, and helping provide them with self-esteem. Our black and brown (low-income) families should not have to be excluded from activities that will help broaden the opportunities that life has to offer because they cannot afford it.
