Program Design and Development
The education system and the non-profit industrial complex are systems that are rooted in oppression. They are filled with outdated programming and curricula funded by our taxes and that do not help us thrive and succeed in the real world. This is not a criticism of the amazing teachers, staff and students within these structures. This is a call to action to provide education reform to better prepare ourselves & youth for today's rapidly changing society. We achieve this by:
Co- Creating with our clients to make sure their goals are met and programming is sustainable.
Pairing our clients with the right members of our Artivist team to deliver high quality services.
We create rubrics to measure the success of our programs using Participatory, Action, Research (P.A.R)
Curriculum
