The art program at Open Door is a way for youth to get creative, learn new types of art, and have a ton of fun! Every week we do something new!

This program runs in select schools based on need and referral. Activities are designed by licensed art therapists to help immigrant children and youth process feelings and experiences from past difficult circumstances and possible traumas. The goal of the program is to use the creative process to help participants explore self–expression, gain personal insight, and develop new coping skills.

Delivered when funding is available. By referral only.
