HEART Of The City Art Expo
Seasonal Art Exhibitions for surrounding area art talents. Competitions are open to Middle and
High School Students. The Inaugural Expo took place from December 26th, 2020 through
January 2, 2021. Themed for Kwanza, the contest consisted of research, economics, and an art
project. The goal of this contest was to allow youth to research the holiday, and create several
paintings/drawings of items that represent Kwanza while bringing awareness to themselves and others about the holiday. Bringing an experience for the youth of our community to be educated, experienced economic education by auctioning off their art for a reasonable price, and being able to express themselves for it through art.
Standardized Test Prep
During The Academy Elite Wolfpack’s Travel 7v7 Seasons (2021 & 2022), on tournament free
Saturdays all of our student-athletes grades 8th and older participate in Testing Prep workshops.
The ACT average of Ouachita Parish is almost 1 full point below the state’s average. Which is
(the state of Louisiana), below the national average by a full 2 points. The goal is to increase the scores of our students and student-athletes as well as express the importance of this resource to
students in the community.
This program is free of charge and open to all students (8th – 12th) grade recommended for test prep development in Monroe City Schools or Ouachita Parish Schools.
“Youth Works” Internship Program
Exposing our kids and area both to the wonders of SPORT. To do something for sport, means to
compete with another or oneself, igniting the natural urge to get better and win. (Competition)
Exercising this mindset not only toward Athletics, But into Art, Literature, Sciences, Social
Skills, Health & Wellness, Entrepreneurship, and Financial Literacy are key to growing our
Area’s Sports Culture.
Under The Radar Exposure Initiative
Upon registration, a strategic plan amongst staff and student athletes is put in place according to certain factors regarding their current recruiting activity. From this point student athletes are coached on the recruiting process and taught how to engage socially with next level recruiters. A continuously growing pipeline of connections amongst our facilitators and college programs around the country will enable these students “a leg up” on their athletic scholarship hunt.
Summer Young Leader Mentorship Program
The youth in our community are overwhelmed sometimes with negative and traumatizing events, and other times circumstances beyond their control. Being that our area is heavily poverty
stricken, many in our community lack resources in a multitude of areas. Our Youth’s mental and
emotional development are often areas forgotten about in this area. This mentorship program will
target youth with a recommended need for services including but not exempt to self-
esteem/communication concerns, educational enrichment/personal tutoring, mentorship/lifeskill assessment, encourage a supportive environment, anger/anxiety concerns.
