History: EII programs focus on exposing youth to performing and visual arts and to other positive activities they would not normally experience. What We Do: Field Trips, Education, Performances and Organizational Interface. Field Trips: The trips are designed to expose youth to cultural and historical activities they would not normally come in contact with. The trips take youth to live theater,
museums, art galleries, and festivals; to meet and interview artists; to lectures and to visit activities of different cultures. Educational: Education covers a variety of topics (i.e. how to conduct a business meeting, life skills, etiquette, money management, anger management, and sex education.) Performance: Performances include a variety of live theater productions, from reciting original poems to full length plays. Members also learn the behind-the-scene requirements of stage management, props, lights, sound, etc. Organizational Interface: Organizations whose principals and policies are in accordance with those of EII are identified and some form of interaction is arranged, (i.e. field tirp, education, fund raiser, etc.)
