Attention Singers! 🎤

This is just a reminder that we will meet on THIS Saturday for our our vocal coaching program. We really have a good time and if you are not a professional singer, no worries, our vocal coach Ms. Dyani Myles has worked wonders and you will leave more comfortable, confident, and ready to showcase your skills for our June black music month.

Meet us at 2231 North Broad Street at 10:00 a.m. Reply "I'll attend" so we can have enough supplies and refreshments.

Who plans to work again this summer? 🖐🏾 Start NOW! Our workforce partner E4E (Mr. Anthony Singleton that visits us) is starting now with job placement. Please don't wait until June asking us for summer jobs! 🙄

We recommend that you start collecting vital documents as soon as possible ( working papers, birth certificates, social security cards, state-issued ID, school ID (with picture).

Gathering these materials in advance will help ensure a smooth onboarding process and prevent any delays once the summer employment begins.

Attend these events even if you don't have all of your documents. We will help you get them!
