This weekend we are in TWO places on the SAME DAY! ACT Prepsters are performing at the Eiteljorg on Saturday during the Juneteenth ALL DAY celebration at 2pm. THEN ACT Academy is presenting our tribute to QUINCY JONES that night. Prepsters are FREE! Academy is $10 if you use the code online. READ the flyer to get the code. 

 

Attached is a schedule for Juneteenth at the Eiteljorg and an e-flyer with the $5 DISCOUNT CODE. 

I hope to bump into you and thank you for supporting our young artists!

Join the Fourth Ready Learning Cohort

 

How are the young people in your community really doing? Like most communities, yours probably has lots of data about academics, such as test scores and graduation rates. But you probably can't answer questions about how those students feel: Do they have adults to turn to in times of trouble? Do they have enough energy to get through the day? Do they feel safe? Where do they see themselves in five years?

 

You can fill those gaps. The Forum for Youth Investment is recruiting communities from around the country to join the fourth annual Ready Youth Learning Cohort.
