Global Girls mission is to equip girls of color with skills that nurture their individual growth and inspire them to use their talents for positive change in their communities and throughout the world. We provide a safe space where participants learn performance, communication and social/emotional skills. Our curriculum is grounded in positive youth development best practices stemming from research in child and adolescent development. The overwhelming consensus is that youth need the following key assets to thrive and become healthy productive adults: 1. Safe environment 2. Supportive environment 3. Interaction 4. Engagement 5. Youth-centered policies and practices 6. High expectations The lessons helps youth develop critical thinking skills as they investigate their issues and seek solutions. Each program participant acquires dance, acting and story crafting skills while also reinforcing essential habits such as resiliency, empathy, self-discipline and grit. The result is socially conscious, youth-driven theatre that gives voice to participant's issues and concerns.
Our mission is to create a platform where artist and audience thrive through the intimacy of live theatre, recognizing the power of theatre to challenge complacency, revitalize the imagination, nurture the unexpected and embrace the variety and diversity in our lives.
Reading to Kids is a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring underserved children with a love of reading, thereby enriching their lives and opportunities for success in the future. Reading clubs are on the second Saturday of every month at eight Los Angeles elementary schools. At the monthly reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read aloud to small groups of children, while their parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home. Kids, parents, teachers, and school libraries receive book donations at the end of the reading clubs. These are important donations, as 60 percent of low-income homes do not have age-appropriate reading materials for children.

Equine Angels Foundation is a volunteer run horse rescue dedicated to nurturing the spirit and well-being of children in need within the Orlando community and its surrounding area through programmed horse activities. We provide a fun, positive, healthy, and encouraging ranch environment where our volunteers work one on one with children ranging in age from 4-18 as they care for and ride our rescued horses.With the knowledge that children are unique in their own ways, our program is geared towards the individual wants, needs, and specific abilities of each child. Family involvement is key to what we do. We ask that parents accompany their child and share in their triumphs while getting a chance to breathe and relax in the open air of our ranch facilities. In addition to providing a place where at risk children and children facing challenges gain increased self-confidence, hope, and self-worth, we also provide a loving forever home to rescued horses.
