THE ERIC BEASLEY FALL 2022 ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

​

In 2022, the Eric Beasley Foundation successfully hosted a six-week Fall Enrichment Program for twenty-four youth, ages five to twelve, in Jackson, TN. A dedicated team of professionals and youth advocates provided creative activities focused on the Foundation’s four pillars: health and wellness, life skills, leadership, and interpersonal development. Participants met weekly, including sessions on at least two Saturdays. Upon completing the program, seventeen participants graduated and received scholarships to support one year of creative or artistic activities. The program notably enhanced interpersonal skills, maintained high attendance, and encouraged children to explore new interests, including participation in the Children’s Theatre program. This impactful initiative continues to empower youth and strengthen the community.
