📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Brief description and main aims - Performing Life is a non-profit organization that helps youth who are working and/or living on the streets. The mission is to empower street youth by providing tools for a sustainable futurethrough the learning of arts as productive skills for avoiding drugs and delinquency while improving their economic, social and personal well-being, their families and their community environment -- Cultural Exposure - They work with two different groups of Children and Youth: One group who work in the streets to support themselves or their families, and another group who are working and living on the streets.

💼 What the programme involves

Main Activities -The Performing Arts Classes are the core of what Performing Life is. They give free classes on performing arts, including juggling, diabolo and poi, that the youth can use to increase their income and thereby have more time for school and studying. Music is the creative focus of this project with youth who live/work on the streets. The Bracelet Program is a youth-managed enterprise, doing Bracelets for sale. Youth Home aims to provide creative activities that help youth to make the transition from street life to that in a Youth Home. -- Volunteer tasks - Currently we need volunteers to: Teach performing arts, circus, theatre, music, dance, etc, support with fundraising and administrative work (project design, etc), Improve and maintain the web page, support the work with the women
