YOR recognizes that education alone can not solve for systemic injustice, nor can it alone liberate youth. Art is a powerful tool, but it also cannot bare the sole responsibility for creating more equitable communities. Still, education and art, when integrated under the right framework, are powerful tools toward liberation and equity. Our Mission: Youth on Record empowers Colorado’s underserved youth to achieve their academic, artistic, and personal best by employing local, professional artists as their educators. Our Vision Youth on Record’s vision is for youth to discover how their voice and value can create a better world. Our Commitment We are committed to ensuring that the youth we serve graduate from high school and are ready to enter the workforce, and transition to college or enter advanced technical training and careers. Our programs empower 1,700 teens in some of Denver/Aurora's most vulnerable communities to make life choices that positively impact their future by teaching them to develop the coping tools, inspiration, and wherewithal to succeed in today’s world and to become leaders of tomorrow.
