According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, Cleveland has 53.9 per cent of kids living in poverty. Violence and poverty, unfortunately is a fact of life for so many these teens living in the inner city of Cleveland, which has the third-lowest high school graduation rate among other large cities. Graduating from high school is not on so many of our teens radar, but going to college or a technical school is out of reach. Our program gives teens training, to a possible career path in media, arts and technology and by being in our program, having mentors who care about their future and success they receive valuable hands-on experience, gain skills and knowledge in a field that they may have thought was impossible for them.
