VNM
Community and school partnerships connect
teens with artist-mentors in their communities, forging respectful,
meaningful relationships and opportunities for learning and growth
on all sides. Teens gain beneficial skills in writing and literacy,
public speaking, media arts and emerging technologies for use
in self-expression and communication. Our media artists and professionals
work in the classroom, after-school, at night and on weekends,
to make language, media, visual and performance arts part of everyday
life and education.
