Educational Mentoring through the Arts & Humanities (EMTAH) is an inclusive arts mentoring program that works with challenged teens from all walks of life. This unique program endows youth with the ability to learn, communicate, and become contributing members of their community. Consider this from a current student:

In a nutshell, EMTAH has helped me to:

• get organized (I play the drums and there’s a lot of parts I need to remember for a gig, and if I forget one, this affects the other members I am playing with)
• get motivated (I look forward to Saturday afternoons playing with the group and learning new things)
  

And last but not least, EMTAH has taught me … to look towards my future and become the best me that I can be. – (kmc)

Or this, from a lead member of Creating Voices:

Whenever I feel that I’m starting to lose touch, EMTAH moves me, and gets me back into the groove. Not only as the bass player in its jazz ensemble, EMTAH gets me into my own groove: my own, real, confidence and flow. Thanks to EMTAH, I remain in touch with all that is around and inside me. I see the big picture. I am more patient with myself since joining EMTAH and know I can give myself the space I need to learn. It is inspiring to work and share myself with others on this level and it inspires every aspect of my life. .. EMTAH has helped to reveal my calling, my future, my power, and my path: My groove. - (Austen Royce Goodman)
