TeamWorks Art Mentoring & Apprenticeship Program provides the only year-round arts intervention to at-risk youth aged 11-18 in Juvenile Hall and in Alternative Education high schools in Marin County. TeamWorks Art promotes creative expression, self-discipline, and community engagement for youth who are underserved and economically disadvantaged. Students who enter Marin’s juvenile justice system and lower-prioritized alternative schools receive no art education within the system. With fiscal sponsorship under the William James Association, TeamWorks Art has the ability to positively impact learning and redirect negative behavior through arts intervention.
TeamWorks Art’s 15-year partnership with Marin County Probation Department and Marin County Office of Education (Alternative Education) has built a high level of cooperative trust with our strong committed team of teaching artists. TeamWorks Art offers flexibility in working with the customized nature of alternative education demands. Every student and each semester involve complex circumstances that require adjustments to successfully implement art classes. TeamWorks Art creates an environment where young artists feel supported in creative explorations. We achieve this by bringing professional artists into classrooms, providing high-quality hands-on arts education and mentoring.
