The Theatrical Program: Our original program pairs inner-city teenagers with adult mentors. Over the course of six months, the mentor team examines such issues as drug abuse, racism, and violence. They then begin to create an original short play or film based on how these issues affect their lives. When the scripts are finished, professional writers and directors offer their expertise, helping each teen and mentor bring his/her shared vision to the stage or screen. As a result of this process, they are able to impact others with their stories and share their vision of what is possible in our community. Voices of the Classroom: This classroom-based program was launched in 2003 at Los Angeles High School. It works with sophomores to help them develop critical thinking and leadership skills, and to identify the unique impact they want to make in the community. It is currently in its second year at Los Angeles High School, and has expanded to Hollywood High School as well. Voices in Harmony |
