SSYP WORKSHOPS
ARTS WORKSHOPSTaught by professional artists and experienced teaching artists, we explore a diversity of mediums such as acrylic, textiles, ink, clay and watercolor. Past projects have included batik dye, tye-dye, pillow making, weaving, mixed-media, Suminagashi water ink prints, collograph and lino-cut printmaking.
|
CREATIVE WRITINGWe explore poetry and a variety of creative writing approaches, seeking to show students how they can find inspiration in their experiences and community. We’ve found that facilitating writing in a non-academic, relaxed setting often leads to a deeper love of writing for our students.
|
URBAN GARDENINGOur students have access to the 5th Street Farm located on Earth School's rooftop one day a week. Students learn how to maintain an garden and harvest produce from the earth. We will often use fresh veggies and herbs that we harvest up on the garden in addition to our center's CSA produce in cooking workshops!
|
SOCIAL CHANGEWe introduce students to several key social and environmental justice issues affecting the local community, and engage them in youth based activism projects with local businesses and organizations. The curriculum is centered around empowering young people to be change-makers in their communities.
