Primary Exempt PurposeThe mission of the organization is to counter the effects of violence in our communities by turning Fear, Anger and Hate into Acceptance, Hope and Empowerment, by Bridging Endless Possibilities through the creative process. Vision: Inspiring & empowering kids with the tools to make better life choices. SCULPTURAL SYMBOLCreation of a sculptural symbol 24 feet in height that was erected and unveiled in May 2005 in central Phoenix made from weapons confiscated from various crimes and set aside by various law enforcement agencies in metro Phoenix. The Release The Fear sculpture symbolizes the energy of transforming the enormous weight of negativism and prejudice into the uplifting force of acceptance once we see ourselves and others as being more similar than diverse.EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: Release the Fear has evidence-based curriculum's that use the creative processes of art, music, and communication. Highly trained facilitators teach through inquiry-based learning Character Education toolPrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

Description Program Srvc AccomIn 2021, Release the Fear worked with 52 students in 4 Bridging Possibilities Workshops.COVID-19 The COVID-19 Pandemic had a huge impact on the Release the Fear programs. Because all of the RTF workshops prior to the pandemic were in-person, RTF took the time and continued to develop new evidence-based curriculum for teachers and students. They worked hard to adapt to the restrictions, and to find new ways of providing our high-quality character education that includes conflict resolution using social-emotional learning skills for underserved youth. Unfortunately, because the program had a large presentation in the juvenile detention facilities, COVID continued to prevent them from continuing the workshops. The organization attempted to provide virtual programs but the impact of the programs needed to be in person.Since 2002, Release the Fear has interacted with over 13,000 Arizona youth and families, empowering them with life skills to help them cope with many of the issues they face on a daily basis. Youth completing Release the Fear workshops begin to realize their positive potential and realize that they matter.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
