H.E.R.I.T.A.G.E., Inc is comprised of four major
programs. They are:
The HERITAGE Fund,
which provides tuition assistance to college students who pursue an
education in the arts.
HERITAGE United,
which provides funding for disenfranchised members of the greater
Plainfield community for private lessons and courses in the performing
arts.
The HERITAGE "Pay-it-Forward" Mentoring
Program, which is a volunteer based program that allows
established artists to mentor aspiring artists in the performing arts.
The
HERITAGE Show Choir, comprised of
children from 7 to 17 who learn to sing, compose and copyright their
own materials, as well as perform various musical styles including
African and Caribbean folk songs, and Gospel and Broadway show tunes
for the community at large, in such locations as nursing and senior
citizen facilities, hospitals, churches, etc. This group has the
distinction of being the 2006 McDonald's Gospel Fest winners in the
Youth Choir category.
The main fund raising arm of the organization is
The
HERITAGE Chorale, a volunteer adult choir that sings
varying styles of repertoire, highlighting (though not limited to) the
music of African American composers. Choral membership consists
of individuals from Plainfield and surrounding communities. The
job of the Chorale is to perform in various venues to raise funds in
support of the four H.E.R.I.T.A.G.E. Inc. programs.
