"Part of the Oath utilizes the arts as a meaningful vehicle to help youth gain a strong understanding of the issues that surround them......creates a safe place for the youth to express themselves and to become educated with accurate information about health and social issues."

Judith Diaz, Director,  Lifespan Community Health Services

 

"Using the Arts is a very creative way of teaching others about themselves and the people around them. Communicating important messages, such as adolescent health issues in this case, is powerful when conveyed by the Arts. I have seen the performances here at my school and out in the community several times. They are very professional and bring messages to students that are pertinent to adolescence and are portrayed in a way that is meaningful to the audience."

Linda Mendonca, School Nurse-Teacher, Jenks/ JMW School for the Arts
