<span style="color: rgb(200, 38, 19);"><b>What:</b></span> The 2021 STEP Winter Session youth will build storytelling skills (incorporating body, voice, and ensemble) and community, while devising an original performance piece to be performed on Zoom. This
program’s summer model is the longest-running arts-based, workplace development program in Cleveland and is an international model for engaging youth. Since its beginning in 1994, STEP has received multiple awards and recognitions including those from the
City of Cleveland, The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Through STEP, teens see themselves as a positive and inspirational force, and watch as their work has an impact on the larger Cleveland community.<o:p> </o:p></p>
