The Performers Academy, Inc

 For over 15 years TPA has made its mark on this city and abroad with a clear focus on sharing the healing power of the performing arts with the entire community. We are committed to helping individuals find their passion for the performing arts especially those who may not otherwise be exposed to its power. TPA provides students with a structured, engaging, and supportive environment where they can develop critical skills in arts, entertainment, and life readiness. Our programs target underserved communities and educational institutions lacking art programing in Jacksonville and abroad, equipping participants with tools for success in school, career, and personal growth. We have expanded our reach to include work readiness programs for the most vulnerable youth and young adults. Participants include those who are DCF involved, justice impacted or homeless. We work to help them move from surviving to thriving.

The Performers Academy is helping the youth in Jacksonville discover healing through the arts, by mentoring and sharing real-world life skills. Mission: Inspire, cultivate, and transform youth through art, mentorship and real-world life skills. Vision: Create a safe space for youth to discover their unique gift to build confidence, courage, and conviction.
