Finding the Gold Within

In the intimate circle of Alchemy - which has been their "family" since sixth grade - they speak of their disappointments, despairs, trials, and triumphs with a disarming honesty. Alchemy, Inc. and its leaders have been working in the school system in the Cleveland area, mentoring young black urban youth from middle through high school. Exploring ancient mythological stories from diverse cultures, as well as drumming and writing, this innovative program gives the youth a chance to grow into self-knowledge, discipline, and confidence. They are taught to "follow the sage within their hearts."
