About
Youth Leadership: 1. Village Industries is our pre-employment program for teens and middle-school youth that combines art and social justice with social-enterprise to build self-sufficiency and actualize the creative power. More than 350 teens per year join one or more creative studios that produce high-quality products and services for local clients who wish to offer, feature, or leverage youth perspectives. The program intentionally simulates the creative agency experience so that youth can safely practice the process of moving from research to ideation, to production, to presentation - we believe these are the very skills needed for young people to achieve social and economic upward mobility. 2. Open Studios is an entry point for youth ages 9-19 to engage in project-based courses taught by professional artists across a variety of artistic disciplines. For some, this program serves as a stepping-stone to Village Industries. For others, it serves as a low-risk engagement opportunity to explore their creativity and build relationships with other youth and trusted adults. Courses are rooted in an array of artistic disciplines including, but not limited to: Mixed Media Arts; Video Production; Comic Book Design; Creative Writing; Hip Hop Dance; African Dance; Music Production + Songwriting + Recording; Fashion Design; Urban Agriculture + Sustainability; Photography; Graphic Design; Digital Storytelling + Radio + Podcasting. 3. Philly Earth is our STEAM-based environmental education, urban farming, and agricultural workforce development program. Youth ages 9-19 engage in project-based learning in permaculture, appropriate technology, and sustainable design while developing familiarity with opportunities for employment and postsecondary education in agriculture-related fields.
