Mission

Founded in 1978 by executive director Madaha Kinsey-Lamb, the mission of Mind-Builders is to inspire the growth of local youth and families in the northeast bronx through highquality arts programming. More than just an arts center, Mind-Builders brings together best practices in arts education, youth development, and community engagement in the belief that a healthy community is a vital ingredient in the healthy development of a child. Our peer-supported learning culture is a critical resource for local youth with few other options for cultural enrichment. All of our programs are free or low-cost, and no one is ever turned away for an inability to pay.
