Assets in Action—Tell Us Your Story
Urban Fusion, New Bedford, MA
“At our program Urban Fusion, we teach at-risk youth life skills and character building by using the musical arts. We are very innovative in our approach of using music, which in itself has very important benefits to youth and community. We've incorporated a great use of the Asset Category "Constructive Use of Time" as youth are now coming into our program, which runs 4 times a week and on Saturdays.”
