MISSION
The mission of Destiny Arts Center, approved by our Board of Directors in October 2005 is:

Destiny Arts Center exists to end isolation, prejudice and violence in the lives of young people.

Destiny Arts Center is a multi-racial, multi-cultural non-profit organization committed to the development of youths minds, bodies and spirits. We accomplish our mission by...
• Supporting multi-cultural youth in developing an individualized sense of artistic expression, leadership skills and personal empowerment that they understand has impact on their communities.
• Providing dance, martial arts, conflict resolution, self-defense, and youth leadership classes and workshops, taught by professional-level instructors, during after school hours.
• Offering financially accessible programs for all youth.
• Doing outreach to youth of color and low-income youth.
• Providing youth with caring adult mentors
• Giving youth a safe place to practice physical skills at different levels.
• Offering outreach programs at local schools and community centers that serve primarily youth of color.
• Giving youth the opportunity to share the message of peace and empowerment, through performances, events and workshops in the community.

VISION
When Destiny has succeeded in its work, young people will value themselves and others - ever mindful of the ways their words, actions, and attitudes affect their communities, as well as the world. They will: respond rather than react to situations; teach and practice love, rather than violence; honor people from different backgrounds and experiences equally; and, be connected to, and active participants in, the life of their communities.

Destiny Arts Centers focus is to serve our local community, while increasing our national and international impact.

VALUES & BELIEFS
We value...
• the principles of love, respect, care, responsibility, honor, and peace as embodied in Destinys Warriors Code.
• building and sustaining a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-generational, sexual- orientation inclusive community.
• being able to provide services to youth, regardless of the ability to pay.

We believe...
• that all youth respond favorably to love and positive reinforcement.
• that everyone has a unique voice, and, they are equally important.
• that youth are inherently good.
• that based on the social and political climate of today, young people experience isolation, violence and/or prejudice in their lives.
• that when communities take active responsibility for the struggles, as well as the successes of all its young people, youth are more likely to thrive.
