$5,000 Goal


EPITOME OF SOUL was founded in 2012 in response to the lack of arts programming for under-resourced students in low-income communities. 

Our mission is to  partner with community organizations to equip, empower, and encourage elementary and high school students to strive for academic excellence and cultural growth through the arts.


The community that we work with is composed of majority African-American and Latino students who value and prioritize learning outside of their everyday academic setting. We have discovered that our students need interaction that requires them to individually express themselves. Our program does this by fostering intimate class settings where students tap into their self-expression through dance, theater, and visual arts. The students that we work with have developed a heightened level of curiosity, are present during class, and also take leadership initiative both inside and outside of class time. 

When you contribute to our mission, you are helping students find and bring forth the greatest expression of themselves through the arts.



Here are a few ways that your donation is utilized:

  1. Art supplies and materials for students

  2. A portion of the expense for professional teaching artists

  3. Technology platforms for hosting classes and housing student class data
