Our journey to the state of California beginning the Summer of 2012:
GAME AMP P.L.A.Y. relocated to Northern California and has explicitly focused on our unique process of CUE-P.L.A.Y. (“Common Unity Enrichment and Education” through “Production, Literacy, Art, and Youth”) by organizing cultural literacy projects, productions, and creative events. These initiatives have included partnerships with local artists and organizations, such as Fenix Drum and Dance Company, College of Embodied Arts/Unplugged Art, MLK Unity’s HueVision production team, Black in Butte/The Black Resiliency Project, Butte County Local Food Network, Hearthstone Charter, Chico State University, BCACTV, KZFR 90.1 FM, and additional partners throughout the Northern California counties.
Through these collaborations, CUE P.L.A.Y. creates workshops, projects, and events that foster community development, cultural understanding, and economic opportunity. These efforts promote social cohesion, offer educational platforms for underserved communities, and provide opportunities for artistic expression and creative engagement. CUE P.L.A.Y. continues to support economic development through partnerships that prioritize sustainability, health, and cultural education across diverse communities in Northern California and beyond.
The B.A.M. B.A.M. program creates opportunities for youth and community members to find and amplify their voices. Through art, theater, music, media, poetry, and spoken word, participants explore and express the challenges and triumphs they experience in their communities.
This program fosters skills development in literacy, creative writing, music appreciation, public speaking, and the visual and performing arts, empowering participants to grow as confident and impactful creators.
The Search and Rescue Program is a multicultural, intergenerational initiative designed to strengthen communities and promote a healthy, resource-abundant environment for future generations.
Through experiential education, service learning, skills development, and sustainable living practices, this program empowers participants to share knowledge, cultivate resilience, and contribute to building a sustainable future.
