PROGRAM
Seen&Heard’s program is more than just performing arts—it’s a transformative experience designed for system-impacted youth in Los Angeles and the Antelope Valley, including former foster youth / transition-age (TAY) youth, and survivors of trafficking. Through trauma-informed training from instructors and alumni leaders, and hands-on professional development, we equip young people ages 16–24 with the confidence, communication skills, and career readiness they need to take control of their future. This program serves as a vital resource for trafficked youth in Los Angeles as well as much-needed support for transitional age youth in Los Angeles, offering them a safe space to learn and grow. Here, every scene is a step toward self-empowerment and success.
