Young Audiences of Houston's programs to support severly at-risk or incarcerated youth to combat dropout rates and recidivism. programas de promesa de las artes CADA NIÑO TRAE LA PROMESA DE UN FUTURO MEJOR Y EL POTENCIAL PARA CAMBIAR EL MUNDO. La iniciativa Arts-Promise de Young Audiences of Houston apoya específicamente a los estudiantes que luchan en entornos educativos tradicionales. A menudo son estudiantes creativos e inventivos que necesitan un vehículo para su propia inspiración a través de las artes. Nos asociamos con administradores, padres y educadores para garantizar que el apoyo sea amplio y multifacético, mientras aprovechamos los fondos que no están disponibles dentro de la comunidad para garantizar que las artes se mantengan para apoyar su desarrollo. Arts-Promise se creó para abordar específicamente las necesidades de los jóvenes en riesgo en el área de Houston brindándoles herramientas creativas para fomentar elecciones de vida positivas. A través de artistas capacitados apasionados por trabajar con jóvenes, los adolescentes reciben un sentido de esperanza. Los estudios han demostrado que la participación en las artes disuade a los jóvenes de participar en actividades delictivas; además, es más probable que los adolescentes que participan en programas de arte permanezcan en la escuela y se gradúen de la escuela secundaria. Las artes pueden ser una herramienta poderosa para involucrar a los jóvenes en riesgo, mejorar el pensamiento creativo y las habilidades para resolver problemas, brindar oportunidades para hacer contribuciones creativas y ser reconocido de manera positiva por esas contribuciones. Además, las artes promueven relaciones positivas entre compañeros y mentores mediante la creación de un entorno de trabajo con funciones y responsabilidades claras, lo que permite expresiones creativas en un entorno seguro y de apoyo. La iniciativa se centra en: •Desarrollar y mejorar las habilidades artísticas • Expresar la ira apropiadamente • Comunicarse efectivamente con compañeros y adultos •Cooperar y colaborar con otros •Aumentar los niveles de participación • Completar tareas de principio a fin •Reconocimiento de nuevas competencias La autoconfianza y la motivación recién construidas de los participantes se relacionan mejor a través de las narrativas de los propios participantes. Un participante anterior nos escribió y dijo: “…He hecho nuevos amigos en el programa de artes y puedo ver que los ayuda en muchas de las mismas formas en que me ayuda a mí. Me siento afortunado de ser parte del programa porque los niños como yo normalmente no reciben este tipo de cosas. Espero que el programa de arte esté aquí en el futuro para que más estudiantes puedan aprender”. Un artista docente también elogió el programa y dijo: "[el programa] permitió a los artistas jóvenes participar en todo el proceso de planificación y ejecución de una comisión a gran escala. Esta experiencia del mundo real reflejó la realidad de la planificación, preparación, ejecución y coordinación de las agencias que existen en el trabajo post-académico. Los jóvenes experimentaron la propiedad de la obra, expresando un profundo orgullo por su participación y reflexionando sobre la memoria del miembro del personal a quien estaba dedicada. Para mí, como artista docente, este proyecto se destaca como uno en el que se dieron los mejores resultados: fue personal y profesionalmente muy conmovedor trabajar con los jóvenes artistas y sus asesores en una obra de arte tan conmovedora".

Houston Arts Partners, a collaborative effort to bring equitable access to the arts through collective efforts in Houston. socios de las artes de houston Se presentó una solicitud a Young Audiences of Houston en julio de 2009 de los administradores de educación del área de Houston para un método más eficiente y eficaz para acceder a los recursos educativos de las artes en Houston. Al movilizar a las organizaciones de arte y líderes educativos de Houston en comités directivos colaborativos, y al crear una asociación única que proporcionaría el nivel de servicio que los educadores y administradores de Houston estaban solicitando, se formó la coalición Houston Arts Partners. El primer apoyo para lanzar este esfuerzo colaborativo fue generosamente apoyado por la Oficina Nacional de YA. En 2010, Young Audiences of Houston patrocinó una fiesta de lanzamiento en la International House of Blues para invitar a invitados a presentar el sitio web y el consorcio. Desde 2010, la coalición Houston Arts Partners ha crecido para incluir instituciones artísticas y culturales de toda la región, instituciones de educación superior, distritos escolares regionales y agencias gubernamentales locales de la ciudad. Esta colaboración sin precedentes une a organizaciones, individuos y líderes de todos los sectores para abordar la crisis de las artes y garantizar que Houston siga siendo un líder nacional en el aprendizaje creativo y la educación artística para las generaciones futuras. Durante nueve años, los miembros de Houston Arts Partners han dirigido colectivamente la Conferencia de Houston Arts Partners. Esta conferencia alberga a más de 400 educadores y administradores de todo Texas para explorar las diferentes formas de crear acceso a las artes para los estudiantes mediante presentaciones dinámicas, innovadoras, interactivas, basadas en evidencia e innovadoras sobre cómo las bellas artes son vitales para todas las escuelas. Esta conferencia combina conferencias inspiradoras y argumentos a favor del poder de las artes de parte de líderes nacionales de las artes en la educación de todo el país y destaca los vastos sectores artísticos y culturales de Houston que lideran estos esfuerzos.
