Kevin Harris has been making dance all his life. Beyond that, he's been influencing the way young teachers look at teaching dance. When Kevin approached Young Angels Network with the idea of creating a free performing arts program for children and young adults with Autism and Down Syndrome, we said "Yes," without missing a beat. Obliterating inequity in after-school and summer enrichment programs has been one of the core objectives of Community Service Live since our beginning. It is our hope that the drive within Kevin to create a new voice on the special-needs' scene will inspire other young influencers who think about making a difference in a new way, but aren't sure how to take the first step.
