Celebrating Louisiana Youth Excellence at the 2025 LYFE State Conference
We had a blast!! Thank you for having us, Governor Jeff Landry’s Office of Programs and Planning join the 2025 Louisiana Youth for Excellence (LYFE) State Conference, a statewide initiative dedicated to empowering Louisiana youth through education, leadership, and community engagement. Hosted under the Office of Governor Jeff Landry, Louisiana Youth for Excellence “LYFE” provides young people across the state with the tools and encouragement to make positive, informed choices for their futures.
We’re especially grateful to LYFE Executive Director, Dr. Amanda M. Shackelford, and her team for their ongoing support of The TMM Project and our efforts to merge the performing arts with youth empowerment initiatives. This summer, LYFE proudly stood with us as we presented our Stay HYPE Award to the Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts (BRCVPA) for the successful launch of their new school campus, a moment that continues to inspire our mission to bridge artistry, education, and purpose. And a huge congratulations to BRCVPA for officially cutting the ribbon this past week on their brand-new building! We’re so proud to see this milestone come to life and can’t wait to watch their students continue to thrive in such a vibrant new space.

BRCVPA Inducted into the Hall of H.Y.P.E as 5th Annual Stay H.Y.P.E. Award Recipient!
The TMM Project proudly celebrated the Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts (BRCVPA) as the official 2024–2025 Stay H.Y.P.E. Award recipient, marking them as the fifth honoree since our award’s founding in 2022, and the first school in our state of Louisiana’s capital city to be inducted into the Hall of H.Y.P.E.!
This honor was awarded during a high-energy ceremony on campus, filled with joy, movement, and students showcasing what it means to be HYPE! Check out the photos and videos captured throughout the day below!
BRCVPA students, faculty and staff led by their Principal, Dr. Louis L. Moore, Ed.D. were recognized for their exceptional commitment to integrating visual and performing arts into every aspect of student life. From music and dance to drama and design, the school has created a space where young voices are uplifted, creativity is cultivated, and mental wellness is prioritized keeping their community HYPE! This year’s award ceremony was made possible thanks to our incredible community support and local partners. We would like to give a special thank you to EBR Schools, EBR Fine Arts, I CARE, Louisiana Office of Cultural Development, Governor Jeff Landry's Office of Programs and Planning, & Torapath.
Together, we showed what’s possible when schools, artists, and communities unite around one powerful truth: the arts are essential to healing, learning, and growth.
