2022 Impact Report
3 Point 0 - Studio T Arts & Entertainment was founded to change the lives of at-risk youth and their families by using dance as a tool to reach difficult-to-serve populations, especially low-income minority communities. Through innovative and culturally relevant programming, we serve over 5,000 individuals each year, across three counties, 10 school districts, and 52 school sites. For 17 years we have worked to keep Sacramento’s most vulnerable young people off the streets by giving them a positive, creative, and social alternative to drugs, teen pregnancy, gang violence, and suicide.
With the onset of the current pandemic, there is a heightened demand for our services through our existing training platform PassToClass.com. “Pass to Class” is a way for public educators to provide physical education videos that are culturally relevant to disengaged youth that struggle to connect. We have found that our methods are the connective tissue for them to engage. Until March 2020, it was a limited resource, but since the COVID-19 crisis we have added over 60 hours of video across 40 different lessons and are currently reaching more than 192,000 students across the nation. With educational and strategic partners, we are poised to build more interactive functionality that will help youth, educators, and parents. We are collaborating—and seeking more collaborative opportunities— with professional teaching artists to create new content, and professionally record content focused on wellness and improving entrepreneurial resiliency. We have also created youth entrepreneurship programs to help youth learn and monetize their creative talents. “Side Hustle Academy” honors the natural talents of our youth and pairs them with knowledge and skills to earn a paycheck. Another program is LVL UP, which helps young people create and disseminate public health information about the pandemic, safety practices, and available resources to help our families and communities navigate the pandemic in a language and medium they can access and understand.
