Give the gift that keeps giving, making sure every child grows up with Sesame Street , every adult can laugh out loud to the British Comedies and travel around the world from the comfort of home. Make public television a window to the world.

Our station is owned by the people of West Central Florida and exists through the direct financial support of the community with nearly 40,000 annual contributors. WEDU's signal reaches more than one-fourth of Florida’s population and is watched by an estimated 700,000 households each week -- that's about 1.5 million viewers!

We teach our viewers about history, science, nature and the arts with an emphasis on local programming. We entertain children while enriching their minds.

Endless Summer Fest

Submitted by TurningPointYou... on Sun, 2008-03-30 17:31.

Project Description

Turning Point Youth Collective is a non-profit youth organization in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Our mission:
To provide the Daytona Beach area with resources and space for producing all-ages music events and creating music related cultural products; empowering youth through alternative leadership development opportunities including a youth-directed model encouraging leadership through open governance practices and erasing the line between the people serving and being served; to actively improve the social well-being of Daytona Beach area youth through civic engagement.

We have been in our planning stages since Jan 2006 and faced some difficulty in remaining after the original organizer moved out of state to continue his college career at Amherst in Boston, MA. Around that same time a new organizer picked up where he left off and January 2008 saw an active start to the collective.

Focusing on all-ages music events, youth empowerment, and civic engagement, Turning Point Youth Collective has already gained wide support from youth, community members in the arts, civic leaders, other local non-profit and grass-root organizations, and businesses alike.

Our first large scale event to introduce ourselves to the community will be Saturday June 7, 2008. "Endless Summer Fest" is an all day, all-ages, all local, free, community and arts event, organized largely in part for and by youth ages 16-25--the first of its kind in the area!

There are 20 confirmed music acts, 10 artists, and a number of skill shares, including a pottery wheel demonstration, and sewing workshop.

The opportunity to not only give back in such a fun and positive way to our community and its youth, but also to provide future leadership and creative opportunities for the youth in this area, combined with a love for the arts is the driving force behind our organization.
