Thank you for choosing to #AmplifyHope with us!

At Humanities Amped, our work to amplify healing justice, radical imagination, and beloved community in public schools and youth organizations is only possible because of your support. You, dear Amped family, are bringing transformative possibilities to life for students in the East Baton Rouge Parish Public School System.

Because of your support, we are amplifying an ecosystem of hope at Broadmoor High School. As of this school year,

• Amped staff and volunteers support student learning and wellbeing in 21 classrooms, reaching 525 students. Broadmoor students, with an emphasis on English Learners, are able to receive more individual and small group support during class time. 
   
• 41 students have taken part in Amped Studio Afterschool arts and civic engagement activities, where they have been able to work on self-portrait art projects, compose music using digital technology, write original performance pieces, and delve into discussion and action project planning to address social issues that students care about, including ending street violence, healing interpersonal relationships, and addressing sexism. 
  
  
• 66 students have participated in Amped tutoring and/or college and career planning sessions.
   
• We have facilitated 58 Amped Community Care conferences, connecting individual youth to wellbeing and restorative resources when they need it most.

​A recent survey of youth in Amped Studio Afterschool shows that 96% feel very supported by the adults in Humanities Amped, and 90% strongly agree that if they have a problem they can go to Humanities Amped for support.

When asked what three words they would use to describe Humanities Amped, our students offered inclusive, welcoming, warm, fun, and safe, among other equally powerful descriptors. One student shared with us, “I’ve gotten a lot better at expressing what I feel and not being afraid to ask for help.” Another said that at Amped Studio, “It feels like I'm actually being heard.” 

Amped family, thank you for pouring into the youth of Baton Rouge. We are proud to be in this work with you.
