This is my story… This is my song…
The Art Creates Life Institute of Leadership and Cultural Development invites you to positively impact the lives of children and families both in the U.S. and the African Diaspora who have been struck by devastating issues that have swept away the hopes and dreams of millions. Our goal is to help these communities reignite their belief in the perserverance of the human spirit, by sharing the untold stories of survivors whose contribution to humanity have been left behind; no history, no footprints, no context for future generations.
Through our work, ACL attempts to capture these stories and the faces behind them, the small miracles that occur through chance meetings, the roar of hope that echoes through the heroic acts of common people, children who dream dreams of better days and quiet nights. Through lifestudies, research, and artistic expression, urban students from the U.S. lead us through this exploration by becoming “ambassors of the light” to their own communities and abroad, forging lifelong relationships with children and families in need using the arts as a vehicle to understand, bring awareness to and confront these issues that plague humanity. The students discover purpose, compassion, committment, and leadership through service on their lifelong journeys to a dream.
Special Thanks to Mr. Tyler Perry for your generous contribution!
