Youth Action Coalition (YAC) is proud to partner
with the PRISM after school program to bring our 3 Arts-for-Change programs to
youth in Amherst. Arts-for-Change provides a space for creativity,
introspection, dialogue and the creation of extraordinary artwork that
addresses youth concerns:
GirlsEyeView (GEV) offers a supportive and
creative space for young women (7th-9th grade) to express themselves through
photography and creative writing.
