MISSION

YÜTH United Through HeARTZ, is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all around arts organization, established for the educational, entertaining and charitable purpose of creating family friendly performing arts programs for children, adults, and all families throughout the community.  YÜTH will fulfill its mission by bringing visual, performing and interactive arts programs to areas such as Brazoria County, Fort Bend County, Harris County and the Houston Area by way of creative programs and The Cre8tion Center (The CC), a dance studio, theater space, and fine arts center.  The creation of The CC will give children, adults, and family an environment to display their creative side while knowing they are in a safe atmosphere through visual and performing arts, summer programs, after school programs, and educational enrichment programs.

PURPOSE

YÜTH United Through HeARTZ is designed to bring the arts back to the community. Our founder, DeMarco Howard, noticed that there was an increasing number of children and youth who had a lack of creativity. Social media has taking over and to some, it has become a huge problem. Children no longer want to go outside and use their imagination but instead spent most of their time on a tablets and phones. With this new found technology, not only do children have to worry about bullying at school, but it now follows them home through cyber bullying. Our goal is to create family friendly programs that encourage youth and adults to tap into their creative side. We have developed programs where children can have a positive environment where they can express their creativity. We also plan on building a center called the Cre8tion Center, The CC, for the community where everyone can have a central place to learn, have fun and have an opportunity to give back to the community. Once the concept is perfected, they will have satellite locations throughout the greater Houston area. Those who can't afford regular classes will have the opportunity to attend our "Fun Friday" classes. These classes will be free to the public. The classes will change between Hip Hop, Jazz, and Ballet so everyone has a chance to experience the different classes. Community movie nights, rentable space, a ballroom, and theater space will all be available to the community. We will also have a Community Dance Store. Clothing, shoes and other items donated to The CC will be available for those to come and shop for free. Once a month our dance store will be converted into a community store where individuals can come and pick out 1 to 2 full outfits at no charge to them. Clothing will also be donated to the Star of Hope and other community based programs through out the city. Our main goal is to give back and make our communities better.
