JUST LIKE ME 2023 MONTAGE
Just Like Me Cultural Arts and Educational Experience is a 3-week camp for 15 to 17-year-old teens. Created, hosted and run by The Performers 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.
The Performers Academy operates under the credo of “Acceptance With No Exceptions”. We value the rich talents of artists from all geographic, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. The Performers Academy offers a variety of artistic experiences and classes that are culturally diverse in nature as well as demographics. Our artistic professionals come from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities. Our staff mirrors our student demographics so that there is representation provided for each youth we represent.
