Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
Year-round intervention & prevention workshops for high-risk youth & juvenile offenders to show them the significance of their own experiences and voices, and how to change to get out of violence.

To expose youth in correctional facilities to an innovative, educational, creative writing, theater and visual art forum where they can express their art to their peers, and to the community at large. Since 2003, juvenile offender visual artwork exhibited widely in both traditional and nontraditional venues, including museums, galleries, libraries, local community centers, cafés and coffee houses, youth centers and art spaces.
