Our goal is to provide a workshop of fun, education and “real-world” experiences, to help each youth find their “Voice” and to build resilience through creative expression
- We are not like school! (Sssh!…) It’s a creative experience!
- We are not the typical writing class or photography class or film making experience!
- NO one fails or is graded, all pass!
- All will learn something new and meet new friends!
- Each will complete a portfolio (work), digitally and in print!
- We only use the latest and greatest technology tools!
