Avante is the Director of Workforce Development and describes the importance of meaningful and high quality culminating experiences and the power of integrating youth voices. Avante's Club provides arts programs integrated with self-designed entrepreneurship-based projects where they are able to build strategic business plans for creative ventures.
Some of the best part of his work is the love, engagement, and support received from the community. Running into Club members and their families in the community affirms the impact Avante's program has in providing a safe space for young people where they can be their full selves, and to grow and be prepared for the next phases of life.
