What families say
“Movement City gave me the freedom to be myself with no judgement. It’s another home for me.” — Ely
“Getting to be a part of MC has always been a very fulfilling and fun experience. Now as a Teaching Assistant, I get to help the youth of the community unleash their creativity through the different mediums of art at MC. Especially in Lawrence, where there are a lot of youth from underrepresented backgrounds. At MC kids can feel heard, and I love to be a part of that.” — Marcelo
