ABOUT

HISTORY
THE YOU IN ME, INC. was founded by brother and sister team, Linden Keiffer and Veronica Keiffer Neal. The organization’s first major endeavor was The You In Me College Campus Tour, visiting such influential campuses as Cal Berkeley, San Jose State and Evergreen Valley College. The tour explored issues of diversity using eclectic atmospheres of art, music, and dance. Due to the success of this program TYIM expanded their audience to include the corporate world, profit and nonprofit companies, K-12 schools, and community centers seeking to broaden their diversity awareness and develop cross-cultural relations. This innovative program also offered an opportunity for the community to experience the power and beauty of art in their own backyards without the cost and travel of visiting a gallery.


GOALS
THE YOU IN ME, INC. focuses primarily on the goals of diversity education and all that it entails, including race, culture, ethnicity, alternative lifestyles, and the wide ranges of issues, pros and cons. And to utilize and develop the arts and the communicative abilities it instills, to increase dialogue, value and retention of the subject matter. Moreover, TYIM strives to give support to individuals and communities represented in these various diverse categories.


TYIM’s programs, activities and exhibitions aim to serve these goals. TYIM hopes to educate ourselves, our volunteers, artists, educators, our community, and the society at large.
