The goals of VSP Foundation youth development programs promote positive development, even when seeking to prevent problem behaviors. Youth development programs help youth navigate adolescence in healthy ways and pre- pare them for their future by fostering their positive development.
The better advancement program for boys and girls follow workbook as well as DVD education formats that will benefit the community and the students. VSP Workbook and DVD education formats will be highly beneficial to the student who has never performed before and has limited technique in dance, music, arts, sports, or other fun learning activities; By preparing them with necessary information that is typically gained only through experience in rehearsals and hours of training in the dance studio or sports field VSP Foundation students are allowed to take as many lessons of an Activity technique class (for example: Ballet, Modern Dance, Jazz, Tap, etc.) desired and are expected in a 1-3 day period to gain enough experience that will transfer to the main stage. Afterwards, much thanks to our programs, they will often tend to not fall short. VSP Foundation Better Advancement Program Day and Overnight programs are specific to inner-city students and we want to create something that would truly serve our big city students and small neighborhoods.
