PURPOSE
The purpose of Teen Apprenticeship is to empower and teach teens ages 12-18 from diverse backgrounds how to become “change makers” and “thought leaders” through apprenticeship in the arts. We currently offers studio experiences in Pottery and Design.
Whole Self Approach
With the “Whole Self” approach, participants overcome adversity, perceive opportunity, develop self-confidence, make ethical decisions and healthy life choices, thrive academically, embrace leadership, and have the ability to enter middle school, high school, college or the workforce as fully prepared and connected adults.

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.
