Get Artsy with Refugee Kids (age 16+) *STW 2017*
Kateri Park is an affordable housing community, located just south of Powell on 28th Avenue. In more than half of our apartments, the residents are refugees. The largest group is from Somalia, but we also have some Burmese and Nepali refugee families.
Come help with an art class for 20 of our kids. They work on individual and collective art projects like drawing, cut outs, and collages - this particular class will have a soccer theme! We need some awesome volunteers to come and add your creativity and assistance to the class.
Wake up your inner artist and join us for an afternoon of fun! You will have a great time exploring art with kids from Somalia, Ethiopia, Burma and Nepal, and you'll really make a difference.
Please know that you will be working with a high energy group of kids coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. Patience, flexibility, and fun are important ingredients to bring with you when you volunteer! Previous experience working with kids is helpful.
Note: Volunteers must be age 16+ to volunteer on this project.
