The Turner Arts Initiative (TAI) brings positive, structured activities to disadvantaged youth, helping prevent or reduce negative influences that afflict young people (e.g., substance abuse, teen pregnancy, truancy, loneliness, obesity, bullying, exclusion, etc.) Participants learn musical instruments or study technology, but most importantly, they learn to use music and dance as a means of expression. TAI offers both summer and after-school programs that include mentoring, tutoring and an activity center.
