Creative Action

All Creative Action programs are designed to help young people develop holistically—blending arts education and youth development.

Create Art 🎨 Create Community 🤝

One student, one project, one community at a time,
we use the arts as a medium to inspire creativity, unlock potential, and transform the lives of students of all ages. We create dynamic and engaging learning experiences that allow youth to develop measurable creative expression, a commitment to social justice, 21st-century skills, and social and emotional skills.

Through our work towards these holistic program outcomes, we help youth discover how to be what we call 4C students — Creative Artists, Courageous Allies, Critical Thinkers, and Confident Leaders. Our concept of a 4C student provides a tangible, age-appropriate way for young people to imagine and explore these program outcomes. We believe that if children can imagine and embody these identities, they will develop the skills they need to thrive. Our goal is whole-child development, and we get there through the arts. Our approach to whole-child learning involves intentional practice that informs the type of learning environments we create, the instructional practices and educational philosophies we employ and the content and skills we teach.
