Re:Frame Youth Arts Center is a space with open community center vibes for young folxs to artistically resist the decentering of their power, rights, and identities. Co-led by young artists and a few of their adult allies, we work towards ending adultism, the systematic mistreatment of young people.
Art As Mentorship is a nonprofit based in Kansas City that empowers young people, through music, to write their own success stories. Our programs teach students valuable life skills including self-confidence, emotional intelligence, discipline and entrepreneurial skills.
