An arts education and violence prevention center that exists to end isolation prejudice and violence in the lives of young people. We perform this work by providing after-school, weekend and summer performing and martial arts programming for young people ages 3–18, both at our main site community arts center in North Oakland, as well as in over 40 East Bay schools. Students receive mentorship and training in performing and martial arts from caring adult teaching artists, as well as practical skill building and leadership development in violence prevention: awareness, conflict resolution, assertive language, boundary-setting, agility & escape, self-defense techniques and reporting.
