Youth Outreach: Connecting to Community Through Art – for elementary and high school students with (dis)abilities
This program provides arts programming to youth with intellectual and/or developmental delays in elementary and secondary school in the Life Skills/LRC classes. We meet students once a month at Centre Wellington District High School and once a month at Elora Public School. The sessions offer guided art instruction and ideas, led by an ECFTA Arts Educator, and assisted by classroom teachers.
The program is free to students. Project themes are centered around community building and emphasize collaboration and success through personal artistic expression. The goal is connecting students to the community in meaningful and creative ways.
