Our Mission
Helping young people discover their creativity, passions, and strengths.
Accelerate is committed to providing innovative programs that enhance the learner experience inside and outside the classroom. We offer a wide variety of workshops, after school courses, camps, summer school and high school credit classes to help young people find new ways of expression, gain better socio-emotional awareness, and find the skills and confidence to reach their educational and life goals. Our customizable programs are designed to help schools and non-profit organizations fill the gaps created by resource and budget challenges, providing students with valuable exposure to the arts and new pathways to future success.
We have assembled an amazing team of art professionals who are all devoted to making a difference in the lives of young people. In addition to being highly admired in their fields of expertise, our teachers have the heart and compassion to make sure students feel safe, supported and cared for during their journey with us.
While our main focus is serving at-risk and under-served youth, our programs are available to private, public, charter and home school environments, as well as non-profits of all types. We understand that every organization is different, which is why we work with you to create a program customized to your facility and demographics.
We invite you to explore our program and course lists to see what might be a good fit for your school or organization. Don’t see something you were hoping to find? Ask us! We are continually creating new classes and would love to hear your requests.
