OUR STORY

In 2005 music industry executive turned educator J.P Taylor and former educator turned celebrity event publicist Tonya Lewis learned about the horrifying drop out statistics plaguing the schools in New York City . The two combined their love and passion for youth and their tremendous entertainment industry relationships and resources to develop the Entertainers 4 Education Alliance a drop-out prevention movement as a way of giving back and helping to make a difference.

Since that time E4EA’s founders, staff, diverse group of board members, advisory committee members and volunteers has created and executed first-rate programs that utilize the power of multi-media and entertainment as a vehicle to connect with the youth and impact parents and the entire community. Entertainers 4 Education Alliance is blessed and fortunate to be uniquely positioned to be cool enough to connect with these youths while providing the essential messages needed to change the minds, attitudes and perceptions about education in our youth.
