In the 2020-2021 year of programming we will be putting girls and young women at the center of a more "girl- centric" way of learning how to enhance their own lives and community through art while also becoming apprentices, leaders, activists, and future entrepreneurs. 

The purpose of GAP Girls Apprenticeship Project is to empowHER and teach girls and young women ages 10-18 how to become “change makers” and “thought leaders” through apprenticeship in the arts. GAP currently offers studio experiences in pottery as well as sewing and design.

When you are a part of GAP Girls Apprenticeship Project you are also a part of GIRLS CLUB! We are currently working on plans for a Girls Club Library & Lounge which will be a place and space to learn how to share creative  ideas and collaborate as "change-makers" & "thought-leaders".

We have consciously set out to create a new model of community agency, creating a culture that values creativity and experimentation, while putting girls and women, children and families at the center of community volunteerism, development and revitalization.
