ABOUT US.

"ALL KIDS NEED SOMETHING TO DO!"

Memphis Youth Arts Initiative (MYAI) exists to empower youth through the transformative power of the Arts. Founded by Corey Travis, MYAI provides children and teens ages 7–18 with access to music, dance, drama, and leadership development—building confidence, discipline, and community. What began in a one-room office has grown into one of Memphis’ most impactful youth performing arts programs, offering opportunities for skill-building, mentorship, and national performance exposure. At MYAI, we believe all kids need something to do—and that something can change their lives.
