Middle School and Teen Programs
Our programs for Middle and High School students address the needs of our community by providing a safe space, opportunities for career exploration and Internships.
Programs Include:
-The Young Artist Program: The Young Artists Program matches Middle School students with professional artists, teaching artists, and mentors to explore cross-cultural community exchanges and arts-based civic engagement. This program will give alternate points of entry for students to engage socially with each other and within their community, explore arts-based career paths and become artists themselves during a crucial time in their development academically and socially.

-Teen Evening Program: Geared towards high school students, we offer a safe space for students to socialize and interact with peers, access to the open gym and our computer/media lab.
Community Engagement and Internships: We offer students in need of community service credit and have desire to learn about our organization the opportunity to assist in the running of our programs. Students get the opportunity to work with caring professional adults to address educational and professional goals in the fields of outreach, program development and the arts.
