Breaking the Chains is a nonprofit organization that provides healing and wellness to young people through creative endeavors, such as artist showcases, talent shows, music programs, youth entrepreneurship programs, and creative youth mentoring. Their mission is to help the youth flourish by integrating creative arts and education and speaking to their dreams and desires. By engaging with the community firsthand and talking to the people of the community about what needs they have and problems that need to be solved, BTC has been able to get great results for children and parents alike and their community keeps expanding with every outreach project they touch.
