Our Mission

 At the CeCe Peniston Foundation, our mission is to ignite transformative change in the world, one family and one community at a time. We accomplish this through a powerful combination of innovative programs, strategic partnerships, and the transformative power of the arts. Our commitment lies in fostering sustainable solutions, nurturing inclusive communities, and inspiring positive social impact.


One of our flagship programs is focused on empowering youth through the Arts, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship. We recognize the potential for profound change within young individuals, and we aim to harness that potential through a multifaceted approach:

Arts Education

We provide comprehensive arts education programs that enable youth to explore their creative potential, express themselves, and develop valuable artistic skills. Through various artistic mediums such as visual arts, performing arts, and digital media, we encourage self-expression and foster a sense of identity and belonging.

Leadership Development

 Our program emphasizes leadership development by offering mentorship, training, and opportunities for youth to cultivate essential leadership skills. Through workshops, seminars, and hands-on experiences, we empower young leaders to take initiative, collaborate effectively, and inspire positive change in their communities. 

Entrepreneurship Training

 We equip youth with the knowledge, resources, and support needed to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. Our entrepreneurship curriculum covers essential topics such as business planning, financial literacy, marketing strategies, and sustainable practices. By fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, we encourage innovation, creativity, and economic empowerment among young individuals.
