Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, ALUM ROCK EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION will increase our partnerships and collaborations with local artists and arts organizations, increase our financial capacity to expand programming, and provide our organization with staff development, training, and professional support that will improve our ability to confidently implement our arts programming while moving our organization forward.
Organization Summary
We operate a STEAM program at Renaissance at Fisher Middle School. The STEAM program includes Summer and School Break Art & Design Thinking Camps and the After School STEAM program for youth in East San Jose. Our Youth Leader program engages teens in developing leadership and pre-employment skills, while also building creative confidence as they lead activities at STEAM Workshops implemented throughout San Jose and act as near-peer mentors in our STEAM programs. We engage a variety of local artists/arts educators to facilitate our workshops to ensure our youth are exposed to a wide variety of artistic mediums and styles.
Our goal is to provide high quality educational enrichn=ment programs, public workshops, and arts education opportunities at little or no cost to the high risk, low income and under-served communities in East San Jose.
