The Kourage House was created for moments like this.

What if your youth had a place where they didn’t have to carry it all alone?

A place to create.
A place to be heard.
A place to connect.
A place to simply be themselves.

That’s what happens every Thursday through Art Therapy at the Kourage House.

🎨 Thursdays | 6 PM – 8 PM

Because every young person deserves a space where they can put down the weight of the world and pick up their courage.

📚✨ SUMMER LEARNING. SUMMER GROWTH. SUMMER KOURAGE. ✨📚

School will be out soon and earning doesn’t have to stop. We believe every young person deserves the support, encouragement, and tools needed to walk into the new school year confident, prepared, and ready to succeed.

Our founder, Kalie and our youth ambassadors will be spending time tutoring and encouraging other youth, proving that leadership has no age requirement and that kindness, knowledge, and confidence are meant to be shared.

This summer, the Kourage House will be opening its doors to support youth who may need a little extra help staying on track academically. Whether your child needs assistance with reading, math, homework skills, confidence building, or simply a positive space to learn and grow, we’re here for them.

🏡 Kourage House Summer Hours
📅 Tutoring Wednesdays: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📅 Art Therapy Thursdays: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Our goal is simple: help our village’s young people avoid the summer slide, strengthen their skills, and return to school feeling empowered, not overwhelmed. Because when we invest in our children today, we strengthen our community tomorrow.

If your child could benefit from academic support this summer, connect with us. 📧 [email protected]

Let’s make sure they start the next school year one step ahead.

Join us every Thursday as we step back into a space where young people don’t have to translate who they are to be understood. They just arrive and everything else meets them there.

6PM–8PM.
Kourage House Thursdays.
Same door. Different breakthroughs.

This is our 3rd cohort of art therapy. Every year it gets better and what we’re witnessing can’t be reduced to attendance, participation, or programming. It’s development. It’s emotional language forming where there used to be silence. It’s confidence showing up in rooms it used to avoid.

That’s what happens when the model is simple, but intentional…be who you needed and we honor every layer of that.

There was a time when Black and Brown children were not given equal access to creative spaces, leadership spaces, or the freedom to fully express themselves through the arts.

Dance studios, classrooms, and performance stages were often places where we had to fight to be seen or weren’t seen at all.

But history did not stop there.

Generations of Black and Brown artists, dancers, educators, and young people continued to create anyway. They built spaces when none were offered. They trained when resources were limited. They kept going when the doors were closed.

Dance in 2026 honors history while building access, confidence, and opportunity for the next generation.

Today, we see Black and Brown youth stepping into classrooms, studios, and leadership spaces with their full identity intact, no shrinking, no hiding, no apology.

Sending well wishes to our founder and her dance sisters today, as they represent in their showcase today…

It’s Presentation Day for our founder Kalie 🌎🇮🇩✨

Today she’s presenting her project on Indonesia.

Watching her prepare with confidence, curiosity, and joy is a beautiful thing.

She reminds other youth that learning is powerful, your voice matters, and being yourself in every language is a superpower 🤍

At Kreate Your Kourage Foundation, we believe art lives everywhere, on canvas, on stage, in classrooms, and on screen. 🎬✨

We are proud to celebrate our Founder, Kalie, for being part of the upcoming documentary, The Kahiki 3 and Me, written by the incredible njohnsonalfano. Kalie was booked for a voiceover in this deeply personal film that explores family, memory, and the lasting impact of a single night at the legendary Kahiki Supper Club in 1970s Columbus.

This project is a powerful reminder that storytelling is art and when young voices are included, the impact reaches even further.

Congratulations to Mrs. Nikki, her team and to our Founder, Kalie. We are honored to see youth artistry represented in spaces that celebrate Black filmmakers and meaningful storytelling.

The Kahiki 3 and Me will premiere at the Denton Black Film Festival on January 31, 2026.

Art heals. Art connects. Art belongs everywhere.
