Mayor Peggy Bell inaugurated the Children’s and Youth Symphony Orchestra of the YES Movement.
On the night of December 17, 2016, Mayor Peggy Bell , in representation of the community government body, symbolically “cut the inaugural tape”, and after addressing those present with heartfelt and encouraging words, enjoyed the concert where the youth/children of YES Movement showcased their musical talents and development.
YES - Youth Enlightenment System/Community Connexion is a non-profit organization that is currently serving more than 230 children and youth by imparting high social values in the classrooms. Participants are learning how to read a pentagram, sing, play an instrument, and become part of a symphonic orchestra.
In addition, our participants learn responsibility, teamwork, respect, discipline and order, in addition to acquiring a professional musical development that will provide future scholarships and open world-wide doors for them.
This program not only transforms children and youth, but because of the values it imparts, it reaches families and the surrounding social realm where the children/youth are being developed. This reality encourages us to envision a YES headquarters in every city of this great nation!
Its musical director and founder, Cesar Rangel, is convinced that we must believe in future generations – children and youth being formed to be brilliant citizens that will impact and influence our nation.
At the YES Movement campus, located at 19000 SW 112 Ave., Miami, FL 33157, we serve children/youth ages – 4-20 that come from a diversity of countries encompassing our multi-cultural city. The program is free of charge and offered after school three times a week.
YES operates thanks to the support of Community Connexion, and its founder Dr. Doris Machin who works with an extraordinary team of volunteer directors, teachers and staff..
For 2017, we face new challenges such as: expanding the symphonic orchestra, consolidating the symphonic choir, and conducting several community concert events in order to reach more children/youth and provide opportunities for enrollment in the program.
