HORIZONS
Arts & Cultural Youth Diversity Leadership Training Programs

 
Heritage Empowered Arts Legacy, Inc. (HEAL) will operate a Youth at Risk program called Horizons. This program strives to identify youths, whom without prevention and intervention are at Risk of becoming wayward. With this Reality will offer a series of Culturally Diverse Youth Leadership Training Programs in the Creative, Holistic and Martial Arts. Our goal is identifying and realigning these youths with Positive Value Systems, i.e.; self-esteem, self-respect, self-defense, family respect, community involvement and respect for the Laws and understanding the need to…………………………….“Stop the Violence.”
 
 
In order to facilitate this Goal, our Horizons Program will develop relationship with publicly owned venues to host and house the after school an weekend Fine Arts training, Performance Arts training; Martial Arts training, as well as Cultural Diversity Leadership training and development programs. The goals of these particular programs are to develop the body, mind and spirit, thereby making it easier for us to instill the character qualities of self-esteem, self-respect and a sense of community (citizenship) to enhance the development of inner-personal skills. As we work to build these qualities, we are then instilling a profound sense of confidence and community, which is a prime essential quality in Leadership development. The Cultural Diversity Leadership Programs, we feel have provided our Youth at Risk with a fully balanced program that will give them every opportunity to successfully negotiate their environment and allow them to stand as……………………………. leaders at the forefront of their communities.
 
The bi-product of this particular type of engagement will assist in the development of safer communities, reduced crime and more confident and productive individuals.
 
 
The HEAL Inc. / Horizons Arts & Cultural Youth Diversity Leadership Training Program, will implement the aforementioned in 4-phases. We will create a platform that will allow for youths of different ethnicities to develop leadership and inner personal skills, respect for different social economic and geographical ideologies thru the use of the Creative, Holistic and Martial Arts.
