Workshop Houston Near-Peer Youth Arts Project

Workshop Houston’s “Near-Peer Youth Art Project” seeks to provide high-quality, culturally relevant arts instruction with a career trajectory toward employment. The program aims to serve justice-involved youth via a Creative Youth Development framework that is holistic, strengths based, and culturally sensitive, tailoring each service to the individual interests of the youth and their needs, values, and talents. Additionally, Workshop Houston strives to increase collaboration with the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department and other community partners.
