Our Vision
We are a non-profit Performing Arts, Leadership & Entrepreneurship Training Organization also providing various Scholarships and Grant Opportunities for Youth.
Our mission is to be a resource outlet for youth designed to improve self-esteem by identifying, cultivating, and encouraging their creative abilities.
Our vision is to foster positive growth for each youth involved by using creative expression through Project Recording, Writing, Video Production, Podcast/Radio Production, and Entrepreneurship Training.
It is our goal to provide youth with the skills necessary to be successful adults, by teaching them responsibility and integrity. We want to encourage our youth to be proactive citizens by helping them realize their dreams and seek their passion to become great business and community leaders.
Our Team
Originally Founded by Shannon (Shan B.) Brewer in 2005 and named after his brother who was killed at the age of sixteen, Mr. Brewer sought to serve at-risk youth in the Southwest Little Rock, (Arkansas) area with an emphasis on Arts Related Programming.
While serving as a Youth Mentor and Assistant Youth Minister under the leadership of Dr. Antoine Scruggs, Mr. Brewer had a desire to reach youth on a more creative level to build more interest and involvement in the Youth Ministry. With a background in music, he began teaching his mentees writing, recording, and stage performance skills. Youth were allowed to perform poetry, rap, sing, and dance in an effort to convert negative stress into positive energy and creativity. Thus, the Cornell Scott Youth & Arts Center was born as an extension of PromiseLand Church Ministries and the PromiseLand Community Development Corporation (CDC).
