AS220 Youth is a free arts education program serving young people 14-20, with a special focus on those in the care and custody of the State. Our goal is to engage youth in a creative process that will lead to positive social, education and social outcomes. AS220 Youth maintains formal partnerships with the RI Training School, a juvenile detention facility, and UCAP middle school. The primary work of the all AS220 Youth staff is to engage young people in art-making workshops that will lead to an increase in skills and self-esteem. Youth staff are also responsible for developing para-professional opportunities for youth in art, design, and technology, so they have direct experience working as creative professionals. Because many of the youth in our program have already the juvenile justice system and/or remedial education, AS220 staff must have a strong commitment to serving "beyond risk" youth.

The instructor will teach basic singing techniques, breathing techniques, proper diction and pronunciation, and assist students in composing and performing their own original work.

The instructor must have reliable transportation and be willing to travel to our two partner schools, UCAP middle school and the RI Training School (RITS), as well as our primary teaching site downtown.
