Youth Explosion 2019 will be hosted by J-Red, the Bay Area’s favorite funny guy, comedian and actor! J-Red has such a heart for young people and the arts. Through his ADAPT organization, young people are gaining access to vital arts programming in the community! Our guest speaker, Javier Reyes, has a track record of community work and dedication to young people that speaks volumes. Through his artistic direction, Colored Ink (a community nonprofit) thrives as a hip-hop based theater group that uses the arts as a tool for transformation, therapy, and advocacy. Shekinah’s Youth & Young Adults brought these two powerhouses together to send a clear message: our community needs the arts and room to express the God-given talents that lift them out of trauma and remind them they are NEVER ALONE! Come out and help us celebrate the vibrant community of artists at this year’s Youth Explosion SAT, July 27th @ 7pm Bayview Opera House 4705 Third Street, San Francisco Presented by @shekinahchristianfellowship Sponsored by SF Arts Commission, KPOO 89.5, and the San Francisco
