Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, The Junior Center of Art & Science will engage in a much needed comprehensive strategic mapping project that will allow us to strategically organize and plan for our short-term and long-term goals over the next three years.
After some transition & fluctuation, our goal is to craft an actionable plan that builds on our 64 years of service and allows us to fulfill our potential as an essential creative resource to the community of Oakland & beyond.
Organization Summary
The Center provides high quality programs in the arts and sciences. Our center hosts visitors in our five interactive learning spaces including our art studio, maker space, and animal room. Programs are provided both on-site and throughout the Oakland and East Bay Area through school and community partners. Offerings occur during the day, after school and on Saturdays. Classes are taught by professionals in their fields. We are happy to partner with over 40 school and community sites throughout the East Bay Area.
In summer, we provide hands-on arts and science camps for students ages 6 – 17 years old.
Our on-site programs are offered on sliding scale with a policy of no one turned away for lack of funds. All of our programs are low or no-cost with additional scholarships available to those in need.
