The New Generation Fancy Drill Team and Performance Arts Ensemble, established in 2000, provides a unique recreational, educational, and cultural experience for at-risk youth in Chicago. This paramilitary precision drill team and marching drum corps offer a structured program designed to impart life skills, promote cultural awareness, and channel youth energy into positive activities away from the allure of the streets. By targeting young men and women aged 6-18, the drill team aims to foster resilience and academic excellence while instilling pride and responsibility in participants. Engaging with local communities, the organization develops strategies for youth empowerment, offering them positive outlets and support in facing the challenges of urban life.
