Open mic, homework help, Junkyard Symphony, all-ages shows, classes on costume design, audio production, film, painting, and song-singing - these are the opportunities provided to the youth of Murfreesboro, Tennessee through YEAH, or Youth Empowerment through Arts and Humanities.
Youth Empowerment through Arts and Humanities (YEAH) seeks to build a Creative Connected Community by providing a safe and supportive environment in which young people can express their creativity and grow as individuals through community involvement.
We facilitate after-school programs dedicated to youth and art, with the goal of providing an arts & humanities facility for our community. We provide a space for an incredibly diverse range of arts, including acting, painting, music (performance, composition, and production), crafting, writing, and many, many more.
Our mission is to educate the youth of our community in the skills required for these arts, but also the intrinsic value of each art and the value it has in our community; in doing so, it is our goal to enrich our community as a whole by empowering the upcoming generation.
In early 2009, YEAH moved into its newest space, a 6,000sq. ft. building in the square of downtown Murfreesboro. To contribute to YEAH, and to learn more about how to become a friend of YEAH, visit their website, yeahintheboro.org.
