Youth Art Program

“Passion for Youth” Art Program

Thursdays, 6pm to 9pm

Mission:

It is our desire to empower at risk youth by engaging their passions through ABCD programming.

Vision:

We will help young people discover and develop their talents and build self-esteem in an environment that is supportive and interactive, working with them individually to achieve their goals. Through our fine arts program, youth will use a variety of mediums, including painting, photography, drawing, and sculpting, to express themselves, develop positive self-esteem and self worth, and work toward the realization of their individual goals.

Volunteer Opportunities:

Trained volunteers help run our youth outreach program. Volunteer services include the following:

• Art instruction
• Youth Mentorship
• Meals and/or dessert
