Help Children & Teens Build Hopes and Dreams

Making the world a better place educating and cultivating childrens gifts ages 1 years to 18 years old by giving HOPE and LOVE through integrating academics, fine arts, and faith. Teaching children the value of having integrity,  training them up to maintain and have standards, because if they don't stand for something they will fall for anything ,and to be equipped for this world (to know their strengths and power within themselves) and be more than a conqueror!

We are building lives to be prepare for tomorrow.  We are advancing our youth minds to learn beyond what is required. We have a Go Fund Me for individuals, corporations, and businesses who have a vision to help children of any ethnicity, background, and religion receive high quality education, performing arts, youth programs, and entrepreneur leadership opportunities for scholarships to universities. 

We seek your support to partner with us and sponsor this campaign by giving a donation of at least $100 or more. We would also be grateful of any donation less than, for a building that would provide all the necessities that would be required to accommodate 100 children. 

For Builders with a heart for children who want to offer a building as a donation, we would be able to give and offer 100% funding in services, classes and programs to the children's non profit cause  which is called "saving lives and benefiting communities with an all in one parent community resource, accredited by the state of Georgia with high standards and quality youth educational, arts, and faith based programs.  All donations will be for renovations of classrooms, performing arts studio, playgrounds, and stage theater. 

Who is behind this vision of purpose, a mission to make a difference same as you in the lives of families, children and the community?

At 22 years old the famous Judge Hatchett gave Tayo Reed custody of her 7 year old brother who she raised to the age 15 years old.  Having no vehicle, riding Marta to over 20 fulton county schools in Georgia, including Camp Best Friends at Washington High School, and the Atlanta Bulter Street YMCA  teaching dance in the Afterschool Enrichment an hour or two a day, manage to provide by the Grace of God with no help for a season raising her brother now a Chef for 18 years.  She was born with a heart for children having to raise her siblings while her mom work in the evenings.  She knows first hand about being deprived, having a talent, and wanted to learn but you are limited in everything around you.  Today those limitations are being removed one day at a time.

Twenty three years ago She founded the Tayo Reed International Academy of Dance, currently known as the Tayo Reed’s Performing Arts Center (TRPAC) and Preschool Academy of Arts. It has been my lifelong vision to inspire children and help them strive higher to reach their fullest potential and dreams.   We have made an impart in thousand of children lives over the years. Here are some facts, out of 23 years serving the community that we are proud of and want to continue for years to come:
1. No teenage pregnancies,
2. No high school drop outs,
3. 80% maintain all A's in school,
4. 10% maintained all A's and B's in school
5. and the remaining 10% made no lower than C's in school.
6. 30% got scholarships to colleges and universities
7. 90% attended a college or university
8. Average enrollment length of time 4 - 5 years consecutively or 6 - 7 years periodically
8. Many students are well known mega stars in the entertainment industry as artists, dancers, educational system, own businesses, managers, supervisors positions, on broad way, married with children and their child attend. There are third generations enrolled.

We are thriving by teaching our youth who they are through Tayoartology, a method of developing advance scholars stimulating the mind to learn more without limitations and boundaries.

The Performing Arts Center and the Preschool Academy of Arts offers a full spectrum of programs in dance, drama, music, voice, film, television, cheer and tumbling for all ages of children.  The Preschool Fine Arts Academy integrates academics providing the highest level of education for childcare, before and after school care, and camps. Our goal has always remained the same – to enrich the lives of children with all artistic specialties. As a trained dancer coming from poverty and rising above her circumstances,  Tayo has experienced the many benefits that fine and performing arts offer and realize how very important they are in a child’s educational growth.  The Fine Arts enhanced her reading and comprehension in Avondale Elementary School leading her to graduate with honors.

When children are engaged in the arts, they develop improved concentration, self-motivation, confidence and teamwork. This translates into higher student achievement – especially for children who have been marginalized by poverty. Access to the arts integrated education touches their natural creativity and helps to level the playing field among those who are more affluent. For this reason, we also award scholarships so that all children can benefit from our programs, because not all parents are accepted by the Government Program Funding income based called (CAPS) Childhood And Parent Services. Hundreds of students have passed through our doors and have gone on to become highly successful adults who are valuable members of our community, schools, and entertainment. One of our first male students for many years is trailblazing worldwide in the entertainment industry and has become a very famous celebrity, we will keep his name private.  Throughout our 23 years we have never had any high school drop outs or  teenage pregnancies.  Our program has been tried, tested and proven.  We are at the milestone that we need our own building and theatre to progress forward in the vision to empower our youth, families and community.

We are seeking your help to raise money to purchase a venue that will accommodate all of our youth programs and also serve as a community center and theatre.

Our fundraising goal is an ambitious $2 million, but with your help we will be able to expand our capacity as we bring the joy of art, dance, music, voice, and drama to families and children in Union City, GA, South Fulton, and Metro Atlanta! Go Fund Me is one of many ways we are raising monies to reach our goal.  Please invest in our community’s most valuable asset – our children! Please also share this campaign on your social media and with friends and family!

Thank you in advance for making a difference in our community! In appreciation for your donation, your name (or the name of your company or organization) will be included on our donor plaque that will be prominently displayed at the entrance of our new facility!
