Programs

JAMS (Jobs in the Arts Make Sense) pays at-risk teens, ages 14 to 18, to create permanent, public works of art. Participants gain job training, life skills, social support, a creative outlet and self-confidence.

Super JAMS rewards exceptional performance by participants through additional work between regular JAMS sessions.

Life JAMS helps out-of-school youth, ages 18 to 21, transition to adulthood through commissioned artwork, social services and job placement.

Locally Grown JAMS provides fresh, locally produced lunches and nutrition education through a partnership with the Community Mercantile Educational Foundation (CMEF).
