Finding Your Way is a Songwriting/Educational program designed to help economically disadvantaged youth and young adults. We teach them how to make and carry out important personal, career and educational decisions that will dramatically affect their future. Finding Your Way makes use of a learning model, which integrates songwriting, teaching methods and structures to maximize learning power.
Finding Your Way was specifically designed for educationally and economically disadvantaged youths and adults who share many of the following characteristics: interrupted schooling, poor work history, illiteracy, social problems, various disabilities, lack of marketable vocational skills, poor motivation, low self esteem, one-parent families, and impoverished communities.
These individuals often possess strengths of which they are unaware, including hopes that lie dormant but which have enormous motivational value, and abilities that have marketable value if developed. Continued exposure to positive experiences, settings, and people, as well as opportunities to gain and refine life skills, supports young people in the growth and the acquisition of these assets.
