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.

A strategic partner supporting access to creative education and development experiences in acting, communication, performance, public speaking, modeling, dance, and related disciplines.

Real students, real programs
We publish results as our programs and initiatives are delivered — real participation, real projects, real communities. We don’t publish numbers we can’t stand behind.
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.
