WE BELIEVE IN TRANSFORMATION
The mission of POPS the Club is to support youth impacted by incarceration and confront the challenges they experience. Through arts-based programs, POPS creates a safe, empowering space for these youth, transforming stigma into hope and dignity so they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, now and as adults.
POPS Club Members:
POPS the Club’s young people are breaking down systemic barriers in their minds, schools, and communities. The youth POPS serves expresses themselves powerfully about the impact POPS has had on their lives.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
DIGNITY
We believe that everyone brings a unique worth and value, and honoring that starts with respect for all.
EMPOWERMENT
We encourage POPS youth to recognize and enhance their strengths to become community leaders.
COMMUNITY
We believe in the power that comes from connection and the spirit of a nurturing community.
VOICE
We amplify the voices of POPS youth to celebrate resilience, knowledge, and hope.
