Mission: Our mission is to develop INEEDCLOSURE Youth Outreach Centers and Performing Arts & Multimedia Technology Centers all across the world, and help provide our youths and teens with the resources, tools, and knowledge that they need in order to live a happy and productive life.INEEDCLOSURE Youth Outreach Centers will provide a safe and protective environment for homeless, runaway, at-risk, and exploited youths and teens. The Outreach Centers will provide a variety of services that are geared towards helping to stabilize the youths living arrangements and social development through educational programs and counseling. The Outreach Centers will be conveniently located in area of the city that is reachable and demonstrably frequented by homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth.INEEDCLOSURE Outreach Centers will provide: · A comfortable, safe, stress free, and caring environment· Showers and personal hygiene products· Nutritional meals and snacks· Laundry services· Counseling (grief, abuse, rape, drug, educational, and financial)· Youth mentoring (social skills, educational planning, and sports activities)· Prevention and Awareness training (teen pregnancy, STD/HIV, alcohol and drug abuse, · rape, sexual exploitation, physical and sexual assault, peer pressure, suicide, and school · drop out prevention)· Temporary living assistance (provide temporary shelter and short term living · arrangements)· Transitional living and health care services· Affordable housing procurement assistance· Employment Assistance (job hunting, job placement, job interview workshops, and · resume building)· Educational Assistance (tutoring, books, and transportation passes) · Computers and internet access (for homework, job searching, and computer training)· Clothing Locker (clean clothes for job interviews and church attendance)· Vital records procurement assistance (birth certificates and social security cards) · After Care ServicesPerforming Arts and Multimedia Technology Center:INEEDCLOSURE believes that due to the lack of free alternative after school and weekend activities that are available for youths to participate in, coupled with the busy work schedules of parents, many youth end up feeling forgotten about and neglected. The need to create an environment where youth can go and affiliate themselves with other youths, and be exposed to the performing arts, educated and trained on the latest digital media technologies (graphic design, computer animation, web design, video production, and audio production) would help to keep them off of the streets and productive skills that will make them competitive in future job markets. The Performing Arts and Multimedia Technology Center facility will have a professional dance studio, a professional state of the art recording studio and a state of the art video broadcast studio, a state of the art performing arts theater, and two class rooms for digital media computer training.We feel that it is extremely important for us to develop a creative environment where our youths and teens can go to learn and participate in a variety of arts and technology projects, courses, and trades. This is a much needed alternative solution to save our youths and teens from the streets.
