Our Celebrating the Creativity of Our Youth
Fundraiser Gala would not have been possible without the support of so many who will be highlighted in our Gala 2013 Commemorative Journal

We are truly grateful for the benevolence of all who contributed to our first attempt at fundraising for the free programs our Founder has offered the youth and parents of Long Island in the past. On this page, you will find acknowledgement of our community businesses and individuals who have been instrumental in making this happen.

In the past, our supporters have responded out of an awareness that they and everyone else are impacted by the issues we address in response to the current upsurge of the victimization of society's greatest assets (our children). 

What Drives Us
Children and teens experience a more difficult and troubled life today than in years gone by, as they struggle with: social pressures * drugs * sex * violence * low self-esteem * media & technology influences and pitfalls. 

How We Respond 
We provide effective programs that have been designed to positively impact the lives of our children, as well as render support to parents, schools and community organizations.

During these difficult economic times, when government funding for youth and family service programs is dwindling, it is important that concerned individuals and businesses provide the monies that    will support the role that the arts play in helping youth succeed and in sustaining families. 

Austerity measures in many school districts through- out the Long Island area has resulted in art programs being cut from curriculums. Your support will enable Your Time For creative Empowerment, Inc. to offer art-related activities to youth in districts that have lost or are due to lose their art program. Your Time For Creative Empowerment will also offer programs and activities to youth whose after school enrichment programs have been cut.   

Partner with Your Time For Creative Empowerment, Inc. through your financial support of our programs geared towards helping youth and parents navigate    the challenges and pitfalls of life in the 21st Century.









Your Time For Creative Empowerment, Inc. is a New York State registered not-for-profit organization which was a natural progression for founder, Madona Cole-Lacy, who has for over 30 years combined her professional skills and experiential lessons learned as a New York City Public School teacher, artist and parent, to offer art-related social and cultural enrichment programs and community service activities throughout Long Island and beyond.
