Problem Children is a summer arts and creativity mentorship program for Bay Area teenagers.
Through one-on-one mentorship students are challenged to develop a creative project from conception through execution. The program culminates in a group exhibition.
It responds to a crucial gap in how we educate students outside the classroom: the need for physical spaces and strong communities that encourage young people to explore their curiosity and develop their gifts. We believe that if students are given the opportunity to do something great, they will.
By challenging students to explore deeply, we honor their personhood and further empower them to choose the lives they lead.
