The Youth Performance Lab (YPL), powered by Village Vibes, is dedicated to empowering and uplifting the creative voices of the kids right here in Ward 8. Our youth deserve safe, inspiring spaces to learn, create, and express themselves—and that's exactly what we provide.

Through poetry, performance arts, mentorship, and leadership opportunities, we help young people build confidence, discover their talents, and become leaders within their community. Together, we're changing the narrative about Ward 8—one performance at a time.

Join us as we invest in our youth, celebrate their potential, and create unforgettable experiences both on and off the stage.
