At The Edge we are proud to be a trendsetting arts-based youth development organization that is committed to using a trauma-informed approach to help young people heal and grow, while also nurturing their creativity and talent.

We understand that trauma can be a significant barrier to young people’s personal and artistic development, and that healing and creative expression often go hand in hand. That’s why we prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where young people can explore their artistic interests and talents while receiving the therapeutic support they need to heal.

Through our innovative and engaging arts-based programs, we provide young people with the opportunity to express themselves, build confidence and self-esteem, and develop important artistic skills such as creative writing, visual arts, music, dance, and theater. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that we are sensitive to the unique needs of each young person and that we provide the support and resources they need to overcome obstacles and achieve their personal, professional, and artistic goals.

We believe that every young person has the potential to become successful and that art can be a powerful tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. Our programs aim to create inspiring and talented youth who not only enrich their own lives but also learn to contribute to their communities and make a positive impact on the world.
