<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Youth Spirit Artworks
(YSA) is a paid art internship and job readiness training program for homeless,
low-income, and at-risk youth and young adults between the ages of 16-25 living
in Berkeley and surrounding cities. Enrollment is ongoing and
year-round. Prospective interns can stop our studio Monday - Friday
between 12:30pm - 6:30pm to get more information and sign up.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">High school students
may receive work experience elective credits through their school for
completing an internship at YSA. Interns receive a monthly stipend
starting at $150 per month for attending an average of three 2.5 hour sessions
per week, completing assigned art projects, and attending Youth Empowerment
Meetings on Fridays. Interns also earn commission from selling their
artwork. <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Interns learn art,
entrepreneurial, leadership, and job-readiness skills through art lessons,
program activities, and events. In addition, participants also receive
employment, education, and personal support from the social work case manager
as needed. After completing a semester, interns have the opportunity to
advance into a leadership role with increased pay. <span></span></span></p>
