Your voice has the power to shape your future.
We work side-by-side with young people to unlock that potential through the power of the arts.
What We Do
Advot’s groundbreaking Ripple Method uses artistic exploration to teach youth vital communication and relationship-building skills—empowering them to become more courageous and effective self-advocates.
Our method is based on the following guiding principles:
Relationships are key to success in life.
Communication is vital for relationships to thrive.
Art is one of the most effective ways to learn.
Through theatre techniques, spoken word, writing, expressive arts, and movement, we teach youth concrete skills to develop stronger relationships. From intentional listening to perspective taking, these tools empower young people to build inspiring, productive, and independent lives.

Our Impact
Whether they wake up in privilege or prison, our young people leave our programs with the same profound belief: their dreams are worthy, valuable, and within reach.
After experiencing Advot's program, youth report the following:
94%
are more comfortable asking for what they need
100%
listen better to understand others
95%
believe their opinions are worth sharing with others
With Advot, I learned how to communicate and express myself better. I was very interested in advocating for others, but I didn’t know how to. With Advot, I learned how to advocate and, now, every opportunity I get, I advocate for others.”
