WELCOME TO
​HUMANITIES AMPED

Picture

The Humanities Amped mission is to empower public school communities and youth organizations to cultivate healing justice, radical imagination, and beloved community.

Here in Baton Rouge and across the nation, school pushout/dropout rates average 30% and higher in urban schools; however, three years of data show that the students in Amped classrooms are 29% more likely than their peers to graduate from high school on time.

Our work begins by seeing students as more than a test score. Amped classrooms emphasize the role of COMMUNITY, Culture, and relationships so that young people are not merely "achieving" in a narrow sense, but rather thriving as full human beings.

At Amped Studio, Broadmoor High School students gather after school in a supportive community that gives them space to set goals and provides them with the homework help, social emotional skills, and tutoring support that they need to reach those goals. Students at Amped Studio are invited to apply their talents and gifts in poetry, music, hip-hop, video, storytelling, and visual arts to be the change they want to see in the world.
