The most crucial period of youth development is during the fundamental education years and if at this period, one is guided towards seeing and developing ability for productivity, one is wired towards impact. We want to capture these young people at these stages of life and sell them a life full of productive impact by introducing Youth Arts into our communities. Research shows that compared with other activities, the arts elicits the strongest commitment from young people, some of whom remain in school or after school programmes because they are highly engaged by their participation in the arts. The Youth Arts field is characterised by its focus on providing arts experiences where disadvantaged youth populations are found, including schools, community centres, detention camps, and group homes. It is based on these findings that Hope Builders Foundation for Entrepreneurial Education proposed Youth Arts as a platform for economic, political and social emancipation of impoverished young People.
Although there are young people and adults with decades of operating experience in the arts, a large number of these individuals are not able to define and document in details, their objectives, successes and failures in the industry because of lack of a viable structure. The Hope Builders Youth Arts will be a vital resource, adding to the people’s rich culture and diversity. We will serve not only our immediate communities in Kaduna state, but also the entire country and Africa as a continent as well as tourists.
To empower communities through artistic and cultural expression, mediums, education and programming
Creating a generation of ethical leaders who are dedicated to community change by fostering a commitment to service and activism through artistic and cultural performance, exhibition and programming
The Hope Builders Youth Arts is a community based arts and cultural organization.
1. We are dedicated to inspiring children and youth to serve as agents of change, cultivating their leadership skills and fostering a commitment to community service and activism.
2. We encourage, support and promote the work of young aspiring artists.
3. We offer visual and performing arts programs and classes including music, dance, drama, audio recording, and arts and crafts.
4. We also strive to develop partnership with organizations that are similarly committed to a mission like ours.
A growing body of research concerning the outcomes of youth programs around the globe is helping to establish the understanding that the arts play a special role in contributing to youth development. Distinguished organizations in the field share specific program attributes, no matter where the programs are located. These attributes include: long-term contact with participating youth; a core relationship between youth and professional artists; the emphasis on youth participation in making art; youth accountability for the public presentation of their art; high standards and expectations of the creative process and product. The sole aim is to provide channels for a youth “voice.”
Interest in the arts came as no surprise; research shows that arts education improves youth’s artistic and life skills, self-image, and social commitment. With support from worthy organizations and individuals, the Hope Builders Youth Arts will stand as a giant hub for youth development. The initiative sought answers to these questions: What do young people want? What do they need? How do we reach them? How do we sustain their involvement so they remain engaged in the arts?
The Hope Builders Youth Arts is a field of high-profit arts programs that go beyond current definitions of arts education. Therefore, building youth participation in the arts will result in a holistic approach that integrates star artists and dreaming artists; also integrates arts learning with principles of youth development. The Programme is designed to help professional artist and up-coming artists develop new programs and services for themselves or to rethink and strengthen programs they already offer. Profiles of organizations and individuals in varying stages of implementing this approach will illustrate the concepts this guide describes.
