Transforming Communities
Through these dynamic programs, the Sarah Robinson Group NFP is dedicated to fostering skill development, creativity, and collaboration, ultimately contributing to individual and community enrichment.
Challenges within our communities
Historically, communities of color have been marginalized and excluded from the creative industries, leading to a dearth of representation and voice. The absence of art and technology education in these communities not only stifles creativity and innovation but also exacerbates existing social and economic disparities.
The Goal: To provide equitable access to art and technology education in communities of color, empowering students to create positive change in their communities, break cycles of inequality, and become agents of social justice.
The Current Challenges:
- Limited opportunities for digital literacy and technological fluency
- Limited access to creative careers and industries
- Reduced opportunities for economic empowerment
- Lack of representation and voice in the creative industries
- Perpetuation of systemic racism and marginalization
- Limited exposure to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) fields
Ways That We Can Help:
By providing access to quality art and technology education in communities of color, we can:
- Develop digital literacy and technological fluency
- Support economic mobility and social justice
- Empower students with the skills and confidence to pursue creative careers
- Foster cultural expression and representation
- Promote diversity and inclusion in the creative industries
- Address systemic inequalities and biases
