Project GOLD has collaborated with The Motivational Edge for the last 3 years to bring lyrical expressions as well as internships and dance expression to girls that are at risk or have been verified victims of sexual exploitation. Our collaboration has allowed the girls we serve to feel empowered to express their thoughts, feelings and emotions in a healing and safe environment. The girls and staff at Project GOLD are grateful for the incredible work and dedication that the team at The Motivational Edge has provided to our members and we look forward to our continued partnership! 

The Motivational Edge helps students authentically express themselves. Being able to create music in Creole has been the highlight of the summer! ME’s variety of programming has really enriched our summer camp activities. Through its Audio Recording and Music Production program, our students have not only gained a foundation in music creation, but have found a healthy and lasting way to cope with life’s challenges.

This stellar creative youth development program in association with Berklee College of Music, and specifically the Berklee City Music Network, is of mutual benefit. Recently, myself and another staff member conducted a site visit at ME. On this visit we interviewed teachers and students and made observations about the facility. This close examination of our Network partners takes place every two to three years. Motivational Edge scored very well. We continue to be excited about our partnership with Motivational Edge!

The Motivational Edge has been impacting residential group home providers in the Suncoast Region since February 2016 after they initially presented what Motivational Edge is and how the program would benefit providers in the region. After the initial meeting took place in February 2016, two residential group home providers initiated services with Motivational Edge. Both facilities continue to use Motivational Edge as a therapeutic service.
