A Philadelphia organization dedicated to guiding the city's youth away from crime through unique educational opportunities recently brought dozens of children to the National Space Museum in Virginia.
Vanessa Young and Teisha Brown run Power of Paint Art Academy and, with the help of sponsors, helped 36 children get an all expense paid trip to the NASA Space Museum to explore the field of aviation.
Young and Brown hope their programs and mentorship save young lives that are far too often cut short in Philadelphia. It took less than three months for Philadelphia to exceed 100 homicides on the year, outpacing a historically bloody 2021.
