UWV is proud to announce that we are kicking off 2016 with an exciting local collaboration designed to empower and engage at risk and homeless youth in Ottawa.
We will be working with Operation Come Home to deliver a program called ArtWorks that bridges artistic expression with inspirational presentations and discussions relating to personal achievement, sustainable living, employment opportunities, and self-expression. By creating handcrafted items from recycled materials participants will have the opportunity to engage in a creative process and build awareness of how their self-expression can translate into income generating opportunities.
With local artist Claudia Salguero as an instructor for the first series we can’t wait to see what our participants create when the program begins March 29th.
