Certified Angels is a non-profit organization founded in 2013 by Jessica Delacruz, an education professional with a passion to help children discover their talents and reach for the stars! It has since had a great impact on the lives of the families and children in the community of Passaic. Certified Angels is a high-quality after-school program that makes smiles widen and dreams become reality while instilling in children the importance of doing community service and giving back to those in need. Children enrolled in the program learn about the beauty of art through dance, photography, and acting from a staff of industry experts and educators. Our Mission is to provide a safe space through the Arts where our youth feel embraced and comforted for who they are while discovering their inner talents. We encourage creativity, self-awareness, and physical activity while supporting them in their journey to become the best version of themselves. Our Vision is to envision a place where our members discover their inner talents and develop new passions through the Arts. A place that encourages each of our members to become more aware of who they are and recognize their full potential while working hard and believing in themselves. Certified Angels will provide them with a safe haven, an opportunity to express themselves, and a platform to tell their stories through Art. Certified Angels ~ Inspiring, Motivating, Believing, Making a Difference
