Success Stories
Director, Howard County Department of Community Resources and Services
“When the pandemic hit our community in 2020 and we were no longer able to provide in person programming (1:1 arts mentoring for youth), LTYC was able to pivot quickly to provide virtual enrichment opportunities for our youth while maintaining a high level of quality and engagement that we have come to expect. Over the past few years we could not be more pleased with LTYC and their willingness to answer the call of our community even during some of the most difficult times. Their ability to be flexible and work collaboratively while maintaining a high level of service has been a valuable asset to our community.”

“LTYC’s professionalism, knowledge, and creativity of their Youth entrepreneurship and leadership programs has helped to enhance our students’ school experience and has resulted in our continued partnership.”
Former States Attorney for Baltimore City
“LTYC provides the first introduction to the Performing and Creative Arts through their unique curriculum and rich approach to education for city youth. Their programming is impactful, and culturally relevant and fills a need by enhancing students’ ability to read, write, and think critically, and by developing students’ appreciation and investment in the world around them. LTYC programs go beyond arts education; they create avenues for youth to build higher self-esteem, and self-worth, develop leadership skills, and reinforce academic development.
We owe it to our future leaders to continue to provide them with equitable access to the arts and positive resources that will prepare them for success. LTYC’s work is fueled by their passion, dedication, and commitment to the youth of Baltimore City.”
Parent of the LTYC Scholars Program
“Since Collin has been attending this program, he has had fewer attendance problems with school and has been on top of his assignments. Not only has he improved with his academics, but the Scholars program has also been teaching my son different life skills such as leadership, and entrepreneurship, and most recently has been learning graphic design. Mr. Benning has been exceptional in making the kids excited to learn about things they typically would not be excited about.”
