ALMAAHH Beyond Borders

We will be exposing underserved youth to the arts through experimentation in diverse artistic disciplines in order to increase creativity and identity awareness that in turn will encourage logical thinking, positively influence literacy, overall academic performance, outlook in life and open them up to imagine and create their own world through art.
