We the Nurture the Creative Mind Foundation are the positive counter investment to the sometimes negative investment of the media, society, music, and all other forms of negative stimulus up to and including the youth themselves. We do this because we understand that a positive investment in our youth today virtually insures a brighter tomorrow. We do this because proactive positive attention greatly lessens the need for negative attention later. We do this because failing youth is the BLAME of the society that has failed them. When we ask what has happened to our youth? All we need to do is look toward ourselves and there the answer will be.
We help young people see the value in themselves and the worth of others. We illustrate how regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, and other various backgrounds, all are important and should be respected and appreciated as a basic rule and not a luxury. All of this we do with the colorfully distracting packaging of creative expression such as creative writing, music and visual arts. So if you have questions concerning what it is we do; look toward the place where you will find our future, just look toward the youth we work with. They will display what it is we do and the importance of it. It is in them that the Nurture the Creative Mind ideals become a tangible reality.
We are the positive counter investment, this is what we do.
