Mark Making

Scenic City Angel sponsored youth basketball, football and cheerleading teams that competed on a national level. We had a lawn care service run by our coach, employing 10-12 people each week throughout the year. We had programs for kindergarten through high school aged students volunteering in the community and serving seniors. SCA sponsored educational programs working on resumes and college applications for high school students. SCA supported emergency assistance for families through the Eviction Prevention Initiative with Habitat for Humanity. We helped Momentum help a single student mom with rent assistance. SCA also purchased bus passes and Y memberships for AIM members.

Performing Arts -The Performing Arts Department's work consists of collecting and performing oral histories of individuals from group homes, detention centers, senior citizens and students. Poetic monologues based on their stories are written and performed to live audiences at various locations in Chattanooga. These events often include a visual arts exhibit of the individuals' work. Four of the "UnMasking" series have been completed in partnership with Tennessee Arts Commission Poet of 2022 Peggy Douglas, McNabb Center group homes, University of Chattanooga and Barking Legs Theater.

History Adventures hosts lessons and activities in schools, libraries, and in the community, with social studies-based content that connects pivotal periods in American history with landmarks, lessons, and people from Chattanooga's history. Community partnerships with organizations like National Park Partners, RISE Chattanooga, and the Chattanooga Historical Society support increases in reach and audiences. Lessons and content are aligned with social studies curriculum and standards, with local landmarks students can recognize. A multi-media approach supports the "three touch" theory to increase retention and support success in school.
