“Working with Antyx showed me how to boost up my personality and confidence, showing me that I could be a leader” said one youth. “Antyx is committed to engaging, transforming and empowering youth so that they can create the changes they want to see in their own communities” says Antyx Community Arts Facilitator, Kevin Jesuino. “We work with youth from all over the city and use the arts to talk about issues that these youth are facing.”
