Youth Works: Paused due to Covid19

Our arts training program is an after-school enrichment program for under privileged youth and aspiring young artists. Instructing youth in methods of creating  and selling their art. Nurturing the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of local  students can also strengthened their academic success, life skills, and professional preparedness. Teaching video, digital arts, sculpture and multiple mediums with a focus on repurposed materials, the goal is to turn students creative talents into career pathways.

 The Kiva project:

The kiva project helps provides funds for micro loans to improve the lives of families in developing countries, to start small business, pay tuitions, or build homes. Each year we sell several art pieces with selected labels and use the profit to fund micro loans. Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities. providing a kiva loan enables someone to start or grow a business and create opportunity for themselves, it creates opportunities for others as well. That ripple effect can shape the future for a family or an entire village or community.
