We are trying to get drugs off the streets and out of the hands of our children. With recent cut backs in our community
we need something to make our kids think and understand violence is not the answer. We want to educate our youth by giving
them information on ways to help them stay off the street. We want our voices to be heard loud and clear, "the violence will
no longer be tolerated." Help rebuild a vanishing generation. Thank you in advance for your help and support.

We are residents of Huntington Woods, Michigan -- joined by friends and activisits in neighboring communities -- who are
deeply troubled by our country's current foreign policy. This reckless pursuit of war and aggression does not make us feel
safer in our homes. In fact, it increases the threat of terrorism for all of us, and risks the lives of our young soldiers
for ill-considered reasons.

Join Detroit Summer’s Live Media Arts Project (LAMP) for weekly artist community workshops. LAMP is a production
of youth artists and adult artist mentors who have decided to respond to the crisis in education, particularly around the
issue of drop-outs, emphasizing the critical voices of youth. Whereas mainstream dialogue on this issue reduces youth to mere
statistics and puts forward a band-aid or reactionary solutions to the crisis, the goal of this project is to center the concerns
and creativity of young people in the debate over the current crisis in education.

By definition, a mosaic is an array of different pieces joined together to create a work of art. Accordingly,
Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit is founded on the richness of difference. Our young artists come from city
and suburban schools, and a variety of social, economic, racial, cultural and religious backgrounds. Through our professional
performing arts program, these young artists blend their ideas and talents and achieve excellence in their theatrical and
musical performances. Yet, their success is perhaps best measured by how they excel in life. Mosaic proudly reports
that more than 95% of its youth ensemble members graduate from high school and go on to college.
