R.E.'s Mission!!
Raising Expectations’ mission (R.E.) is to instill cultural integrity, self-empowerment, and
discipline among youth ages 10-18 through instruction in the visual/performing arts and
arts apprenticeship opportunities. Since 2005, our motto has been to "R.E-Educate, R.
E-Unify, and R.E-Connect Through the Arts," and our mission is to do that at each youth
arts workshop activity!
By creating fun-filled cultural arts activities and fostering positive relationships between
youth, parents, and teachers, R.E. bridges generational communication gaps and
facilitate solutions-oriented dialogue and interaction.
With a diverse consortium of arts educators and mentors (see our R.E. History Page),
R.E. instructors challenge the creative energy and potential of youth and young adults.
We provide skills-based, interactive learning exercises in our arts workshops.
Workshops range from wooden-sculpture making to the craft of DJ'ing, and from arts
healing methods to salsa lessons.
R.E. workshops and arts apprenticeships fascinate and sharpen young people's
understanding of the dedication necessary to achieve artistic masterpieces. One youth
at a time, we are changing their perspective of the world around them and helping them
to bring people of diverse backgrounds together!
