MyARTS

MyARTS has become a haven for at-risk teens from every corner of the city: A place where they can explore and express their creative abilities, identify possibilities for continuing education, and most importantly, dispel the myth that the larger world is forever closed to them. At the heart of MyARTS is the belief that skills equal power and opportunity.

MyARTS has three goals, which provide teens with access to the things they need most: A safe place where they are able to build positive mentoring relationships; An opportunity to have a voice through working with MyARTS clientele and through their personal art shows; The responsibility of paid employment that promotes their own economic development and acts as springboard to post-secondary opportunities.
