The Momentum Volunteer Program (MVP) is a philanthropic program established in partnership with MVMT Foundation (MVMT) and Buck Out Cleveland (BOC). This program is committed to harnessing the collective power of our community to advance the missions of both organizations.
Mission
Our mission is to empower volunteers to actively contribute to building a vibrant and inclusive dance community throughout the Midwest. Through their dedication, skills, and passion, volunteers will help us create opportunities for aspiring dance professionals, foster connections among artists, and eliminate barriers to cultural equity and diversity in the dance industry.
Vision
Our vision is for MVP to become a driving force in illuminating the Midwest as a leading hub for dance training, instruction, and performance. We envision a thriving community of volunteers working collaboratively with MVMT x BOC executive team and board members to generate feasible career opportunities for aspiring dance professionals, irrespective of their cultural backgrounds, racial inequities, or ethnicity. By 2025, we aim to have a diverse and engaged volunteer network that plays a vital role in realizing our vision.
