Since 1991, Agape Connection, Inc., has been providing educational, cultural, and other initiatives that have an impact on the children and youth of the Western Suburbs. For the last decade, Agape has accomplished its mission by developing and implementing cultural and educational programming for youth and children through various initiatives. As society transforms into an even more diverse atmosphere in the 21st Century, Agape intends to prepare young people to be leaders who are knowledgeable, appreciative, and tolerant, of a variety of cultural expressions.
The program entitled “A Celebration of the Arts” will honor the late civil rights leader by featuring music, words of inspiration, and food for the soul. In addition, Agape’s MLK Character Awards will be presented to five African American high school junior and senior males who have exhibited high moral character, volunteerism, leadership, and visionary potential.
