Our mission is to alleviate suffering, lift the spirits, and ease the loneliness and sense of abandonment that is so common among confined and institutionalized populations, through access to the performing arts by providing a continuous series of live performances and presentations. We also seek to educate, inspire and empower troubled and high-risk youth by offering them continuous arts workshops and instruction.

A major focus of Outside In is our Youth With Promise program, which offers weekly art, music and dance educational workshops for high-risk youth, juvenile offenders, and other underserved youth.
