Hello all!! I have an exciting update; All this year I will be working with an awesome mentoring program run out of Smith College called
Project Coach [email protected]/about

I will be working to create avenues to integrate the arts and support its mission which is to empower teens from Springfield by being mentors and coaches to elementary school students.

I will be bringing the beloved and talented spirit of Zephyr into my everyday work to help support these amazing individuals.

I also hope to gain some valuable experience with how to sustainably run such a program so that eventually I can get ZRAP's mission soaring far and wide. Wish me luck!

After a little time to regroup over the last year and get some more experience teaching students from urban areas spanning from St. Croix V.I. to Springfield, MA. Z.RAP is now getting ready to reach out to you, our community, once again.

We will be looking for a new home base studio and funding to work with more students in urban settings. After a brief stint in the urban public school system it is clear how important it is to provide alternative learning environments for children, where they can feel safe to explore their creativity and let art be a healing impulse to expand and connect to others..
