EARLY – Education, Arts, Recreation & Leadership Skills for Youth

Founded in 2006, EARLY is a movement whose mission is to expose youth to diverse genre and curricula in education, arts, recreation, and leadership skills.  We fulfill our mission with programming that cultivates “characteristics of success,” thus increasing our youth’s potential for self-sufficiency, resulting in individual and community empowerment.  

EARLY programming is structured to empower youth by exposing them to curriculum tailored to their interest(s) and the exploration of non-traditional careers. EARLY provides four areas of exploration: education, arts, recreation and leadership skills.
