Our mentors are industry professionals (DJing, hip-hop/rhyme writing, and graffiti artists etc), providing unique insight based on their own experiences as youth who were once at risk and successfully transformed their lives, demonstrating perseverance by utilizing alternative pathways to healing found within the urban art and music scene.

The mission and vision of TFFLF are centered on empowering youth within a therapeutic space that allows them to foster new interests while honing in on existing talents. The integration of holistic wellness tools into the positive TFFLF mentorship creates a rehabilitative environment that supports the youth’s mental health, positive relationships, and trauma healing.
