YOUTH
ABOUT US
Karpe Diem Family is a Christian organization driven by the desire of empowering youth through the creative arts. We help youth find their voice; their unique purpose through our programs that assist in identifying gifts, talents, and strengths in the people we serve through the creative arts. This builds inner confidence, which we believe is key to succeeding in one’s career, business, and in life. KDF is a distinct organization because we target key obstacles in our demographic. Many youth and young adults face issues with finding their identity, low self-worth, and low self-esteem. Our solutions that benefit the younger generation include implementing a trauma-informed curriculum and promoting Social Emotional Learning and Healing Centered Engagement through our programs.
OUR MISSION
To build a community of confident and fulfilled youth to discover their purpose and passion through the creative arts, Social Emotional Learning programs, Healing Centered Engagement, and mentorship. Youth increase their self-esteem while developing their writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills from our various programs and curriculum.
OUR VISION
MENTORSHIP
Empowering youth globally through the creative arts to know their purpose and actively pursue it, becoming change makers and confident leaders of the next generation through storytelling, art, and media.
KDF partners with other professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are willing and capable mentors. We are able to vet potential mentors, and connect mentors with mentees and their families. This family-oriented relationship helps bring out the best in the youth we work with.
