Life Pieces to Masterpieces is a DC-based program serving local youth and has been a great partner of GW for many years. We are so proud to share that three LPTM Junior Mentors, Ricquan Greenfield, DeAnthony Greenfield, and Issa Ouarid, were featured on the front page of the Washington Post local section on Jan 12th, speaking about the importance of creating and celebrating art, even in challenging times.
Each of these students have participated in LPTM since elementary school, and take pride and ownership in the environment of Love, Security, and Expression that they help create for their younger peers today. Too often, they have had to help staff bring children inside from the playground after gunshots ring out nearby. But despite that adversity, they work every day to make sure every child at LPTM knows that they belong, and that they are innately powerful.
