Youth Programming & Teaching

Using art as a tool to create safe spaces to heal in community.

Why I Teach

I teach because growing up, I struggled with my mental health, my identity, and the environment around me. Art gave me a way to escape, express myself, and eventually change the direction of my life. Now, I want to give young people access to the same tool that helped save me.

what we can do

students build confidence, learn spray-paint techniques,

collaborate, and create something they can be proud of.
