After School Performing Arts
We are a nonprofit organization on a mission to transform the lives of at-risk youth, especially those from deeply disadvantaged communities and backgrounds, through performing arts. Our charity equips these children, aged 7 – 18, with the life skills they need to transform successfully into adulthood and build a brighter future
Through our performing art classes, workshops and campaigns, we have helped thousands of at-risk youths learn new skills, develop self-confidence, and improve their self-esteem. Additionally, by bringing artists, educators, and at-risk children together, we have successfully helped several youths learn to think critically and express themselves creatively.
At Transcending Elements, our passion for improving the lives of underserved youth is the driving force of everything we do. The need for our work is increasing because nearly 40% of American children live in low-income families, and a large percentage of them are vulnerable to poor outcomes as adults. We aim to help these children transition successfully into adulthood so they don’t end up developing problematic behaviors that would endanger their future.
