Art for YOUth aims to engage the disadvantaged Filipino youth by giving them an avenue to not only express their emotions, but also to bring out their creativity and skills with the means of performing arts. The project makes an effort to have the participating youth feel a sense of self-fulfillment by means of investing time and effort to reach a certain end goal. This end goal can be in the form of a culminating activity, for example a public performance, a recital or any other form of end deliverable that could reflect the individual’s learning in the time span of the project. The theme or object of the performance or output could either be a social issue or any other educational topic. This enables not only the performers to gain insight on the topic, but their output would educate their audience on it as well.
