About Us
We are a non profit charitable educational corporation, located in the historic, low income district of Ledbetter Heights in Shreveport, Louisiana. We exist to enhance the growth and development of our community by teaching people of all ages to find the potential and the gifts in oneself and how to become productive in a community.

About Our Name
To better serve our community, we have chosen an Ebonic name that relates to the younger generation, as well as uplifts the older generation. Everyone wants to have a grip on life the way that Tiger Woods does with his golf club, Wynton Marsalis with a trumpet, Oprah Winfrey with her charismatic charm, or Fred Astaire with his dynamic dancing and screen work. These are true players in their perspective fields, achieving the utmost from their talents, skills and special interests, in order to obtain gainful financial independence and peace of mind.

Our Philosophy
We all have talents, skills, and special interests that can be assets to our community and society. With nurturing and cultivation of our minds, bodies, souls, and talents, we can accomplish the goals that we set for our future.

Our Objective
To bring positive motivation to the attitudes of economically disadvantaged people of this area, through self empowerment, i.e. to use the resources, skills, and talents they have in order to feel productive and useful in society.

Our Mission Statement
Playaz and Playettes, Inc. exists to enhance the growth and development of our community. We are commited to the youth of today for our future, as well as the adults of today. We believe that the development and implementation of ideas and programs by the people and for the people is a step towards empowerment and self-sufficiency.
