Weekly Programs

Art & Play Program is a free elementary school program offering Grades 6 and 7s some fun activities of art, craft and games that build social emotional learning skills and emphasize on creating a sense of belonging and developing those social skills needed to spend a fulfilling school time. Our sessions are limited to 15 youth to offer individual peer support and attention. 

Media Arts Program is a free after-school program offering youth aged 13-18 a chance to create and express themselves through artistic mediums such as photography, film and writing. Youth use art as a way to explore anti-violence and social justice issues affecting them and their communities. Each session provides food, drinks, bus tickets, art supplies and there are 3-5 field trips planned per year.

Leadership Program is a free after-school program for youth who wish to grow their leadership, facilitation and artistic skills. Youth leaders are provided with opportunities to facilitate workshops, lead discussions and participate in public speaking events.
