The Threads Youth Dance Project is a pre-professional dance training program for youth ages 12-16. It seeks to innovate dance education by welcoming aspiring BIPOC dancers who struggle to find affirming and culturally sustaining spaces to study dance.
United Family Medicine, a Federally Qualified Health Center, respectfully requests $74,500 to support stipends and commission fees to hire local community artists to create culturally-relevant artwork for our diverse clinic population. Funding through the MHC will invigorate and empower the UFM community in building identity and culture through the patient experience, which includes African, Black/African-American, Latinx, immigrant populations, indigenous, and other communities of color.
