Rochester Youth Outreach
is a faith-based after school ministry that we believe is unique in its scope and dedication to collaboration with other agencies to foster community interaction. Working with the other service groups in our organization, RYO aims to serve youth in two major areas, Art and Music. Click here or on our logo above to visit our dedicated website.
RYO uses a youth empowerment-based model to promote skill-building, leadership and artistic expression. Our goal is to integrate the Arts in a way that will both inspire and stimulate high-school aged young people.
We believe that through the arts and creative exploration a young person can better connect with themselves and the world around them. We want to intrigue, expand, and encourage youth into motivated and well-rounded individuals who believe they are capable of achieving their aspirations. We believe that artistic expression promotes community as well as motivates young adults toward positive personal growth.
RYO offers youth an opportunity to participate on all levels of our program’s operation. From planning through implementation and evaluation, youth are afforded the chance to work closely with peers, community residents, and dedicated volunteers to achieve positive outcomes through exploration of the arts and more, leading to the following positive outcomes:
- Greater sense of self and civic responsibility through community interaction.
- Improvement of youth/law enforcement relations.
- Creation of fun opportunities for youth to learn life skills and explore career possibilities including but not exclusive to the arts.
