Through fundraising and sponsors we have created a Scholarship Program offering relief with tuition and proper needs for class. Studio 305 is the home of the Rolle Project open seven days a week. There are a series of classes being offered including an after-school program so our youth have a safe place to learn and express their talents. Our goal is to expand as far as our youth can dream.

We embrace Art in all forms and acting was a huge demand so we have an incredible Talent Director bringing development classes, and placement for those youth are interested. Fitness plays a major role in dance, so we offer nutritional classes that focus on eating healthy to reach their full potential.

Rolle Project is a pillar in the community and is involved with local organizations and companies that support our mission.

We plan to foster relationships, and build partnerships so we can create opportunities for youth to be creative.
