Strengthening Lives – Building Communities

Scholastic Talent Inc. is an organization that creates opportunities for students to explore, develop, and celebrate their creative abilities. To support the social, emotional and academic development of young people in vulnerable situations. Together, we can find children who want to be successful, and offer opportunities for them to achieve their dreams.

Scholastic Talent, Inc.

Founded in 2013, Scholastic Talent, Inc. discovers, nurtures, and develops our talented youth in the greater Capital Region. We help those who lack access to opportunities or which the traditional school setting cannot physically support.

Our capstone project is our annual Scholastic Talent Showcase, which introduces the community to young artists in vocal and instrumental music, dance, literature, and other performing arts.

In addition to the showcase, we provide artist development so that our young performers can hone and realize their full potential.

Scholastic Talent Inc. offers a mobile sound studio for recording, music, and beat creations for gifted songwriters, voice recordings, transportation to and from studio practices, food, guidance, mentoring in the arts and social field, and stability and security for the scholars.
