Poetic Justice GalaThe Poetic Justice Gala, held on September 12, 2024, at the Zhou B Art Center, was a remarkable event dedicated to celebrating the 30 young adults who overcame significant challenges through our IBUILD program.
The evening also marked the launch of a capital campaign to build the IBUILD Center, a safe haven and beacon of hope for more young lives. This inspiring event united supporters committed to creating a brighter, safer future for the community.

Summer in the City
Summer in the City centers on cognitive behavior modification, creative arts, and internships. Because the creative arts offer a special way of creating self-expression, we applied our cognitive approach to it. That’s not all; it has been proven that the creative arts unlock specific parts of the brain that are connected to emotional regulation, memorization, stress relief, innovation, and so much more. We understand that young adults are looking for their education to make sense to them in the now. Too often, young adults feel school isn’t teaching them things that they will use in their day-to-day lives. We know as adults that isn’t true, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't meet the students where they are. Because of this, we added an internship component to the program so students can have a chance to get paid for their internship or get certified. Young adults, at times, need us to hold their hands to the finish line, and that is what our internships do.
