At Behailu, we aim to prepare urban youth to become active members of society in an environment that encourages creativity, builds confidence and character, promotes healthy decision making, and fosters a sense of personal and social responsibility. At Behailu, teens are engaged in the arts, receive academic support, and participate in community service projects that focus on building positive relationships and developing the necessary skills for success beyond high school graduation. Students are exposed to and mentored in high quality arts instruction that encourages them to find their voice as individuals and community members and promotes personal growth and civic involvement.
