About Us
SUPPORTING YOUTH TO THRIVE
We do much of our work in St Petersburg, Florida - where Founder and Executive Director Sylvie Silva lives and provides therapy services for at-risk youth at no cost due to the the generous donations from within our Cicada Institute community.
And in this next year, we are cultivating a new home for Cicadas to grow and thrive in the mountains of Marshall, NC!
