MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and inspiring platform for young artists across the Midwest to showcase their talents. Through our quarterly Youth Showcase, we aim to uplift and celebrate the creativity of poets, singers, dancers, fashion designers, models, rappers, comedians, artists, and hosts. Beyond the stage, we foster a welcoming community through workshops, gatherings, and fundraisers—ensuring that every young performer has a space to grow, express, and shine.
Why do we need LIT ACADEMY?
LIT ACADEMY is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to empowering youth by providing a safe and supportive platform for authentic self - expression. This program nurtures the ability to articulate thoughts and emotions in a constructive manner, fostering personal growth, self - confidence, and community connection. By offering a secure environment where creativity thrives and negativity is actively countered, LIT ACADEMY paves the way for young individuals to harness their inner voice, engage meaningfully with others, and contribute to a more compassionate, vibrant society.
