My daughter Riley had the best summer camp experience to date. The dance instruction was amazing and the environment was child based and full of love. Our daughter decided, long before the summer was over that she wanted to become a member of the Northeast Performing Arts group.
NEPAG has been by far the most family oriented non-profit organization I have been involved with! I loved being a student there and also a staff member. I will forever remember NEPAG.
Review from Guidestar
I became a part of this organization over twenty years ago.
This is where I worked my first job. I've learned
some valuable lessons from Ms. Rita. She is very
professional and strive for nothing but excellence. She has a love for the
Arts like no other and her love for the kids show in her works. Please support this organization it will be a big help in guiding kids in the right direction.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Rita and her dedicated team over 20 years ago through the #6 Boys and Girls Clubs of America. I became a student then and thrived not only in dance but in self-confidence as well. Today, it's really nice to see that at least two of her former students are now instructing. And guess who's a student now??? Yup, my 3-year old daughter! I'm looking forward to seeing her choreographed "dance moves" and watching her become more comfortable in her own skin (she's already on an awesome track).
Thanks in advance N.E.P.A.G!!!!!!
I have known of this organization for over twenty years. Rita took my disabled daughter into her dance classes and helped her with her muscle tone through dance. Today, my daughter dances in a dance group and is a confident young woman. Rita has over come many challenges herself. She continues to fight for her young people providing them with many opportunities. The skills that the student learn will be carried out through out life. Her dedication to the youth of Northeast is amazing. I totally support her efforts. All you need to do is see one of the young peoples performances and there is no question as to the professionalism that is exerted.
NEPAG is by far one of the hardest working non-profits in the city. Rita Jackson's passion for serving youth is unsurpassed. I have been honored to witness the lives of youth in DC transformed as a result of the work of NEPAG under the leadership of Ms. Jackson. She is one of DC's biggest unsung heroes. I encourage others to invest in this worthwhile cause.
