FOSTER CARE REALITIES
Seen&Heard exists to develop the professional character of foster and disconnected youth through performing arts training
Our approach:
We are going to look beyond the numbers and focus on the individual. At Seen&Heard, one of our core values is that All People Are Inherently Valuable. We will focus on the baseline, the individual. We can’t change the foster care system itself. We can’t eradicate systemic racism or poverty. But we can give the youth we serve tools to change their own life. One student at a time, one rehearsal at a time, one scene at a time, one transformed life at a time.
“Arts-engaged low-income students were more likely than their non-arts-engaged peers to have attended and done well in college, obtained employment, volunteered in their communities, and participated in the political process by voting. Findings suggest that the arts’ role in developing competency may be especially important for students who otherwise feel isolated or excluded.”
