What Sets Us Apart

Shine Forever is an initiation into adulthood for youth, utilizing art, health and wellbeing, financial literacy and global citizenship as the building blocks for success. The Urban Collaborative Project and local artist, Maxx Moses, have launched a 30 day intensive training program for young adults, ages 16 to 24. Our project is designed to uplift, inspire and prepare our young people for the future. Our program is driven by a series of creative practices to support the idea that, “Every Human is an Artist and only YOU can shape your reality.” 

Shine Forever is a platform for our youth to develop productive habits, visualize their dreams and implement them into reality, with the practical life skills necessary to thrive. 

Creative Arts

Students engage with diverse artists across disciplines to explore inspiring creative practices that foster curiosity, self-expression, and authenticity in a supportive group environment.

Financial Literacy

These training sessions build students’ practical life skills—such as financial literacy, budgeting, and investing—while providing a $1,000 stipend to apply their learning in real-world contexts.

Health + Well-Being

This component supports students’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being by introducing safe, guided movement and meditation practices that build sustainable daily habits.

Global Citizenship

The program expands students’ cultural awareness by linking local experiences to global perspectives, guiding them to explore their purpose and turn their interests into intentional, purpose-driven travel goals.
