Prodigy Cultural Arts Program is Educational

Stop the proposed cuts in funding for programs like the Prodigy Cultural Arts program which educate our youth in life skills and reduce delinquent behavior.

Why is this important?

Florida Governor, Rick Scott, has proposed to eliminate funding for prevention programs like the Prodigy Cultural Arts Program and push towards education. Prodigy is a research based prevention, intervention and diversion program that educates youth ages 7-17 in developing life skills like communication, anger management and problem-solving through cultural and performing arts all of which are researched to increase academic performance in the classroom.

With the legislative session starting this month, we have the opportunity to share the educational impact of the Prodigy program and continue to serve thousands of youth across the state of Florida.
