​The mission of TeamWorks Art Mentoring Program is to encourage creative expression, self-discipline, and collaboration through visual arts learning for emerging artists ages 12-20. We empower students in juvenile detention and alternative education schools with high quality art classes, off-campus workshops, internship, exhibit opportunities and community art projects. With our sequential, youth-driven mural arts curriculum students can boost academic motivation, cultivate friendships and develop pro-social skills as they produce unique murals  from inception to completion.



​
​TeamWorksArt successfully evolves by customizing  partnerships to match alternative education needs. Every student is unique. We foster an environment where young artists feel supported in creative exploration. Our committed team of teaching artists build a high level of cooperative trust with on-going residencies and quality materials for hands-on arts education and mentoring.

“TeamWorks has fostered a sense of collaboration, creativity, and community among a population of students longing for someone to believe in them.  TeamWorks’ teaching artists have consistently committed their time and skills to offer invaluable lessons, experiences, and compassion that will have a lasting impact.”
             —Mary Jane Burke, Marin County Superintendent of Schools



TeamWorks engages youth seeking an alternative path to graduation to experience the benefits of an arts-rich school environment.  Keeping students in school through arts involvement leads to adults who are more creative, innovative and better prepared to deal with the challenges of the world.
