Any comments about your selections you would like to share with the student philanthropists?
We work with people who are incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, or simply impacted by the incarceration system. We have art events where all of our artists fit into this category. We also have programs in some facilities as well as the library. We work with youth and adults alike on social emotional learning and then also expression (via art).
Does your organization have volunteer opportunities available for students? *
Yes, Grades 9 – 12
List possible volunteer opportunities -or- a link to where they can be found on the web.
Students could be volunteers for HOPE programs in libraries in the city. We are currently at MLK and Parsons and could use peer level volunteers.
