Strong City/Baltimore Youth Arts: Studio Apprenticeship
 
 
 
Baltimore Youth Arts (BYA), is an artist-run, after school program that provides arts education and job skills classes to youth, ages 14-20, with a focus on those in the care and custody of the state. Our mission is to assist young people in gaining the creative, personal, and educational skills that will enable them to become leaders in their communities. BYA uses the arts to engage youth with the goal of building long-lasting, mentoring relationships. We believe that the arts are a path towards social, emotional, and educational development. Baltimore Youth Arts currently works with approximately 20-30 youth each week across three teaching sites: The Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center, the Thomas J.S. Waxter Children’s Center and the Lillian S. Jones Recreation Center This position is sponsored by Strong City Baltimore in Baltimore, MD; and the VISTA member will serve with Baltimore Youth Arts in Baltimore, MD.
