Since our founding in 2000 as a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, Youth Expressions (YE) has supported the long-term growth and development of more than 1000 of Miami-Dade County’s most at-risk youth using a novel approach to youth development. In addition, through YE youth-produced educational performances, we have reached more than 250,000 local youth with positive messages on topics such as health, substance abuse, and personal success – to name a few.

Mission:

Our mission is to inspire youth to engage on a path of exploration, discovery, development and expression that leads to health and wellness , self-assurance, discipline and the skills needed to realize their full potential.

To fulfill our mission, YE offers a holistic approach to helping our members develop the skills to cope with the daily challenges and stresses faced by teenagers and young adults. Our goal is for members to develop a heightened self-awareness and vitality that allows them to harness their mental and emotional energy. Youth feel more in control of themselves, with enhanced peace of mind, concentration, and a deep inner love and self-confidence.
