More Than an Arts Program
Our programs are designed to develop more than creative skills. Through engaging activities and values-based education, students strengthen confidence, communication, responsibility, respect, teamwork and other skills they can carry into everyday life.
Creative Development
- Music
- Acting
- Modeling
- Performance
- Communication
- Self-expression
Values & Life Skills
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Honesty
- Self-control
- Kindness
- Personal integrity
- Care for others
Our values-based education incorporates 21 common-sense precepts that encourage students to make positive decisions and develop stronger relationships with others — woven into every workshop as part of the learning experience, not a separate curriculum.

Supporting Children’s Education in Venezuela
Beyond our South Florida programs, Empowering Knowingness also supports El Camino a la Felicidad Venezuela, an organization focused on educational and values-based initiatives for children and communities in Venezuela.
This international initiative is separate from our South Florida youth enrichment and after-school programs.

Young people become empowered when they have access.
Empowering Knowingness is an independent nonprofit built around one belief: children and youth are full of potential, and our role is to open access to the knowledge, mentors, creative environments and experiences that help them discover it. Rather than delivering everything alone, we build programs and collaborate with qualified organizations so young people can access specialized education, creative development and real-world experiences.
Proud to Work Alongside
Empowering Knowingness collaborates with program partners and community allies who help make our work possible.
