Project Title: TRANSIT ARTS – The Glow Project
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Central Community House\u2019s TRANSIT ARTS (TA) program engages young people through mentorship, professional development, creative skill development, and artistic workshops. Programming culminates in employment skills, violence prevention, and improved social-emotional development \u2013 a holistic model needed to help youth succeed, graduate from high school, and be prepared for adulthood.<\/p>\n
Stemming from systemic racism, generational poverty, and disinvestment in African-American communities, there exists a heartbreaking truth \u2013 black and white youth may live in the same community, yet experience it entirely differently. Moreover, black girls face unique challenges. According to a study by Georgetown University, adults view Black girls as less innocent and more adult-like than their white peers, especially in the age range of 5\u201314. Termed \u201cadultification\u201d this implicit bias results in Black girls being held to higher standards, contributes to harsher punishments in school, and means taking on adult-like responsibilities at a young age. Black girls are also hypersexualized, and experience increased violence, body-image issues, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem as a result. <\/p>\n
In response to these stressors, TA developed The Glow Project. Designed and led by Black women, The Glow Project serves cohorts of 14 adolescent girls at a time through 6-week sessions of intensive, 3-hour workshops. Through deep exploration of music, visual arts, writing, and movement activities, and in partnership with a Licensed Professional Counselor, participants envision how they see themselves, how they believe others see them, and how they want to be seen in the future. Small cohorts allow for a safe space to receive mentorship, stress-relief, and mental health resources unique to each individual, paving the way for participants to develop leadership skills, set goals, and expand social capital through engagement with community leaders.<\/p>\n
Leveraged with other funding, a grant would empower support programming for 3 cohorts of girls (42 girls total) over one year.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: 33,500<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Other sources of funding for The Glow Project include: The Women\u2019s Fund of Central Ohio – $10,000 (Committed); Ohio Alliance for Arts Education -$8,000 (Committed); Ohio Arts Council \u2013 $7,000 (Committed)<\/p>\n
Project Duration: 1 year
\nGeographical Area Served: CCH\u2019s primary service includes the Near East and South Side of Columbus, Ohio, including zip codes 43203, 43205, and 43206. Within this area: 60% of residents are African-American; over 31.9% live in poverty; and the median household income was $33,366. The Near East has been identified by The Ohio State University\u2019s Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity as having one of the largest concentrations of youth vulnerability, "where investments have the potential to impact the greatest number of our most vulnerable youth.\u201d\t
\nAge Group To Be Served: TRANSIT ARTS\u2019 target population includes primarily low-income middle and high school youth (and some young adults) ages 11-21 with risk factors causing greater challenges to high school graduation.<\/p>\n
