SkyART
SkyART provides free, safe, open spaces where young people are empowered and new connections are made. Accessibility – we remove barriers – promoting participation in our programs, connection with other institutions and communities, and access to the broader world. Responsiveness – we innovate – adapting programs to the evolving context within which we work, fostering civic engagement, cultural democracy and social well-being. Totality – we are committed to reaching the whole person – recognizing that every participant has a unique life experience characterized by their own needs, assets and interests. Stability – we are a consistent presence – the "third place" after home and school, where participants develop meaningful relationships and experience a feeling of extended family.
