Express Yourself is thrilled to receive a $21,000 (over 3 years grant) from The Women’s Fund of Essex County.
The Women’s Fund is dedicated to transforming the lives of women and girls throughout Essex County. ExYo is committed to delivering creative arts programming that helps girls build resilience and life skills. Our year-long arts programming leads to a grand performance at the Boch Center –Wang Theater that centers around building healthy peer relationships. Youth will collaborate with successful women that bring their shared stories to the program while building on the ideas and artistic interests of the participants throughout the course of the year.
