Perfecting Gifts, Inc. is a creative and performing arts organization that was founded by Sharonda K Mitchell in 2017.
We currently offer a Summer Camp that takes places during Summer Break. Studies have shown that participation in Summer Arts programming like Perfecting Gifts can slow or eliminate the academic slide in learning that takes when students are out of regularly structured classes for the Summer.
Beginning in 2022, PGI will host an afterschool Arts Academy. Our goal is to be a complement to the system systems and provide programming whenever school is not in session.
Perfecting GIfts Incorporated utilizes a unique approach to developing the talents of our youth and unlocking their maximum potential by fostering leadership, accountability, and synergy among like-minded youth.
In a world full of choices, Perfecting Gifts Inc focuses on using our gifts.
We believe that the potential within us is far greater than the negativity around us.
Our youth are taught that their passion fuels positivity in a world that is often needing hope.
