Our Goals
Our youth is the greatest contribution to the future. There are studies that the first 7 years are the most crucial for developing core beliefs into adulthood. According to the CDC, the first 8 years can build a foundation for future learning, health and life success. Stress and/or trauma the results can have negative impacts on the brain. whereas talking, reading, and playing can stimulate brain growth. During the years of 8-13 and in the teenage years of 14-17, they struggle with issues that can last a significantly long time into adulthood if they do not know how to and practice resolving them. Our goal is to provide them with positive outlets for growth through knowing and understanding themselves better and engaging in the Arts.
​
Through mindful, positive programming and the Arts, The "I AM" Development is committed to helping our youth gain the following while developing a mindful and positive outlook on life:
-
Inner and outer peace
-
Self confidence
-
Self love and positive self talk
-
Unity in diversity
-
Positive, creative outlets
-
Emotional and academic development
Parents, guardians, caregivers, teachers, leaders, society on a whole... our youth need more than just a roof over their heads, clothes and shelter to thrive. They need to feel safe, loved, heard, understood, guided, supported and connected to their creativity to become the positive contributors to society we hope for when we look into the eyes of a child. Adults have much on their plates, The "I AM" Development offers some solutions that a young lady or young man can do on their own, some that they can do with other people and some that you all can do together.

#YOUTHCONQUERINGQUARANTINE
​
It's quite an adjustment being quarantined. It is an adjustment for our children as well. How are they conquering quarantine? Send us pictures, interviews or just videos of them having fun. It will be one safe location for them to share what they are doing to conquer quarantine, see what other youth are doing, and reminisce on what they were doing when this too passes. Parents or guardians, email us at to share pictures or videos. We will post them on our social media channels with the hastag #YOUTHCONQUERINGQUARANTINE.
