WHO WE ARE

The L.O.V.E. Academy, a fiscally sponsored project of the Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville, empowers youth in Nashville and surrounding communities through dynamic, year round programming. Our mission is to nurture the potential of pre-teens and teens by providing meaningful access to education and experiences in a variety of fields, including, but not limited to, culinary arts, songwriting and music production, filmmaking, art, cosmetology, media, entrepreneurship, and STEM.

​

We are dedicated to equipping students with real-world skills that prepare them for success beyond the classroom. By fostering creativity, critical thinking, and leadership, we help young people grow into confident, self-sufficient individuals capable of shaping their futures and contributing to their communities. Through mentorship, exposure to skilled trades, and opportunities for personal and professional development, The L.O.V.E. Academy cultivates a supportive environment where every student can thrive. Our vision is to inspire the next generation of innovators, creators, and leaders—young people who are not only career-ready but also empowered to make thoughtful and impactful choices in all areas of their lives.
