That's one of the reasons that RTV6 Leadership Award winner Priscilla Bolden established the Destiny Live Center for the Performing Arts. Bolden opened the Indianapolis center five years ago and serves as its volunteer executive director. The goal is to provide inner-city kids with the training and scholarships they need to pursue careers in the musical arts. She said that the activities provide youngsters with a healthy way to express their emotions or cope with difficult situations.
Keyboards serve as an incentive.
If the students' grades improve while they are part of Destiny, they're allowed to keep the keyboards when the classes end. Bolden said that the music also is therapy for young people in crisis. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
