Youth Spirit Artworks is an innovative, youth led, Berkeley-based jobs
training program aimed toward empowering and transforming lives through
creating art in a safe, supportive community and being paid.  YSA is
currently accepting participants for our Winter and Spring 2014 programs
which run from now until May 2 and May 5 to June 13th.

 

YSA is open M-F 330 to 630pm and Sat. Noon to 3pm. Youth come after school
and choose 3 days each week to participate for a total of 10 hours a week.
They can choose from either MWF 330pm to 630pm or TTHF 330pm to 630pm. All
participants receive 50 percent of the proceeds of everything they make and
sell as part of YSA. Beginners get paid a $75 stipend per month for
participating. YSA is a peer-led organization, youth are allowed and
encouraged to participate fully in all decisions of the YSA community.
Youth are able and encouraged to gain increasing amounts of leadership and
responsibility within YSA.

 

To qualify for YSA's stipend 10 hr per week program, participants need to be
living at or below poverty level.
