Volunteer Youth Arts Facilitator; Evenings

As a project of Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, Children’s Creative Corner seeks to provide opportunity and empowerment to children in our neighborhood. Youth are offered the chance to acquire both technical art and life skills, thus increasing potential for self expression. We focus attention on fostering community, and encourage use of creativity as means for social change.

Each evening, participants trickle in to play games, work on homework, color, and have a snack before the class begins an organized craft together. As youth develop their creative abilities, they are also acquiring life skills by discovering means of positive self-expression and cooperation with peers.

At Children’s Creative Corner, we seek to cultivate an environment in which youth of Over-the-Rhine may grow personally and creatively while developing a strong sense of community both inside the classroom and out. Volunteers allow us to provide more activities and individual attention to youth.

Children’s Creative Corner is a youth art program started in summer 2007 by Over-the-Rhine Community Housing. Developed to offer a nurturing and creative outlet for low-income youth in the neighborhood, the program is structured to be highly accessible, meeting twice weekly at 220 East Clifton Ave, a space central to many young families in the community.
