Mission Statement
FutureSelf invites transformation
through the Arts

Our Core Values
•Integrity informs everything we do
•We have an unstoppable belief in people,
art and the creative process
•Our espirit de corps is fun
•We are passionately accepting of every
person that comes in contact with FutureSelf

Objective

FutureSelf’s goal is to offer arts based classes,
workshops, on going programs peer mentoring,
opportunities to use skills developed and
public and private recognition of achievements
to this end.  Despite mounting evidence that immersion
in the arts is the most effective means of reaching
at-risk youth, FutureSelf is the only program
of its kind in the Pikes Peak Region.  The enthusiasm
with which administrators, therapists, and staff
working with at-risk youth have greeted
FutureSelf speaks volumes about the
need we address.

About FutureSelf

The name FutureSelf  was chosen to indicate
our belief that anyone can have a great life no
matter what his/her past has been. Given the
opportunities the creative process provides
individuals with unique access to the experience
of being powerfully, positively and productively
engaged in the present .  In an empowering
experience of the present, the seeds of a positive
future are sewn

Youth and the Arts

Seven separate acedemic studies reveal
that youth involvement in the arts:
           

    Reduces Truancy

    Reduces juvenile crime and violence

    Improves academic performance

    Builds critical communication,
    self discipline and problem solving skills

    Connects students to themselves and eachother
