Leadership in the Arts and Social Impact

The Academy of

The mission of the Academy of Leadership in Arts and Social Impact is to cultivate visionary leaders who use the arts as a vehicle for exemplifying the possibilities of social justice, equity, and community empowerment. We believe that each student possesses an unique ability to inspire empathy, challenge social norms, and envision alternative futures that dismantle systems of marginalization and inequality through the completion of one of our programs. Our Academy of Leadership in Arts and Social Impact is dedicated to empowering future generations of creative change-makers to harness practical approaches to addressing pressing social issues, confidently, collaboratively, and with artistic flare.

Arts Management

Students learn how to navigate the intersection of nonprofit and for-profit business structures, as arts-based organizational leaders. Adult learners within this program are typically interested in implementing arts-based intervention programs within communities who may face socio-economic challenges, disenfranchisement, or systematic disparities -- and seek to utilize arts and performance as an outlet for social change.

Events & Set Design

Adult and youth learners will engage in a thorough learning process of events management and theatre-based set design within this program. If you are an admirer particularly of 'set-planning' for music videos, stage plays, short films, movies, or internet content, then the Events & Set Design program is an ideal learning environment for your evolution as a potential set designer, production assistant, or stage director.

Arts-based Facilitation and Education

Students of the Arts-based Facilitation and Education program will engage in course-work that prepares learners to become qualified, trauma-informed educators/facilitators who deliver arts-based curricula in urban and/or rural areas. Graduates of this program may go on to create youth camps, leadership development programs, or empowerment initiatives that uncover and address pressing social issues that disproportionally affect children/youth.

Book Writing & Authorship

If you are anything like most students who apply to this growing program, then you may possess several notebooks or iterations of at least one book you've been hoping to publish, sooner than later. This program is ideal for adult or youth learners who seek to develop an organized approach to publishing a book, magazine, or e-book project(s).
