JUST LIKE

ME

Formerly known as “Just Like Me,” our Cultural Arts and Education Experience has been refreshed and relaunched as “This Is ME.” Same mission. Stronger voice!

This Is Me Cultural Arts and Educational Experience is a 3-week camp for 15 to 17-year-old teens. Created, hosted and run by The Performance Academy, in partnership with Family Support Services, talented artists lead the teens in an exploration of their experiences. The students learn to express themselves through the arts and share their stories with the community in a final performance.
