"Diva Arts" strives to create a world where every child's unique abilities are recognized, and their potential is realized.

For 28 consecutive years, Diva Arts has produced year-round programs that integrate dance training, performance experience and personal development to educate under-served youth. Since 1997, Diva Arts has served more than 2500 children and our program participants have performed before more than 250,000 community spectators in Miami Dade County. As a catalyst for change, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive community where all children, regardless of their disabilities or limitations, are valued, supported and empowered. We strive to provide equitable opportunities for learning, growth, and social interaction, ensuring that every child can thrive in an environment that celebrates diversity and promotes acceptance.

Diva Arts employs high-caliber, degree' d staff with a minimum of five years experience in the performing arts and/or arts administration. As a professional team we work collectively to create quality programs that will provide access to children and families in need. Our programs include: The Dance Empowers Youth Program, Saturday in the Arts and our Arts & Academics for Excellence Youth Summer Program. These programs target all children, however, first priority is given to under-served youth and children with disabilities. Diva Arts has a long-standing history of former program participant success stories that speak to the integrity and quality of our programs. We aim to serve and change the lives of children one step at a time.

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our partners who are instrumental in the continued success of our programs. The Miami Foundation, Miami Dade County Cultural Affairs Council, The Children's Trust and Miami Dade County Public Schools all support our mission. Together, we strive to create a world where every child's unique abilities are recognized, and their potential is realized.
