Our Mission
Our Mission: To improve the lives of high-needs youth using art as the vehicle for self-expression, self-confidence, and hope for the future.
Van Go is an art-based, social service agency that employs at-risk youth ages 14-24, to make public works of art that are sold in the community. Our holistic, year-round programming uses Art to deliver in-depth mental health support, job training, health nutrition education, and life skills lessons. Van Go’s nationally recognized programming gives troubled young people a job, real world skills, and the opportunity to create their own vision of success.
