What is Project Respeto ?

Project Respeto, led by Susan Moreno, is an arts-based program serving 50-75 Hispanic and minority youth. The program has demonstrated success through improved school attendance, reduced discipline issues, and increased graduation rates. Through culturally competent programming, Project Respeto engages youth in positive art activities and anti-violence strategies, both in-person and virtually. Virtual Art Clubs allow students to participate from home through Zoom sessions, connecting with guest speakers and artists while working on hands-on art projects.
