At Young Artist Society, we believe all people are powerful. Heart change mentoring is the core of what we do. We exist to change the way young people view education and the world. We want students to be excited to graduate and set college/career goals. We use music and audio engineering to teach entrepreneurship, leadership and community connectivity. The "starving artist" mentality is old-school. Today's world needs artists & innovators! All successful brands have their stories told by creators.
One in four teens dropout of school, but YAS teens are crushing it! They graduate at higher rates, have increased attendance and GPAs. We asked them to rank "I believe I can do anything I put my mind to" from 1-10, the average score after the course was a 9.4, rising from a 4.5 just a few months earlier. That is so powerful.
"I have always been interested in music. Everyone in my family is, my brothers and my dad. I'd been to three or four high schools before I got to the one where I eventually graduated. The big difference was... that high school had Young Artist Society. I feel like I got tricked in a way, because I came in thinking - Oh, were just gonna make music, cool...that's right up my alley, that's something I wanted to do. It was so much more than that. There were life lessons to be learned, there was business lessons to be learned. It was just so much to take in and it really helped me grow as a person. - Ceair McKinley
