Global Youth Media and Arts Program (MAP)
The Global Youth Media and Arts Program is an arts education program for youth ages 10-18 in New York and San Francisco.
Through the MAP youth use their own lives and communities as a platform to examine a global theme - Immigration and Identity - using visual arts, performance and media. This program illuminates the connections between community and world affairs and helps young people learn to use art and media as tools for self-expression, dialogue, and community engagement.
