The Applaud The Youth Arts Program is designed to expose youth to the power and expression of art. The program will collaborate with local artists, performers and teaching institutions to encourage participants to explore their creativity and potential. Theater, multi-media, dance, lyrical prose (rap, rhyming), drama workshops, and performances, are just a few of the activities planned for our youth to work on their own short film with Hot CoCo Productions and possibly shown on the local TV network. Hot CoCo Productions is the film production part of Applaud The Youth. CoCo is an acronym for Children Operated, Children Organized.
Applaud The Youth will sponsor social events, field trips, guest speakers, drug and alcohol awareness workshops , HIV/AIDS awareness, and a host of other activities.
