This summer marks the launch of Hope Center for Arts and Technology, Inc.’s (HopeCAT) Youth Leadership Academy (YLA), empowering high schoolers (grades 8-11) to embark on a journey of leadership development. Our program unites young leaders in a blend of community involvement, activism, entrepreneurship, and communication through the transformative power of art.
Throughout the seven-week program, students gather weekly to refine their artistic skills through hands-on projects within our community. From product design ventures showcased at local festivals to immersive mural installations, participants explore diverse avenues of creative expression. Additionally, a compelling visual journalism initiative culminates in a gallery talk led by our youth leaders. YLA will meet every Wednesday from 2pm-6pm from June 26th - August 7th at HopeCAT and will award one $500 scholarship to a participant of the program who demonstrates excellent future leadership potential. |
