ARISE SCHOLARS
The ARISE Scholars Program will provide teens who are currently in grades 9-12 with the opportunity to earn service hours, to volunteer in the community, and to experience how the fine arts can be used as a tool for wellness.
The central theme of ARISE is storytelling. Throughout the program, we will explore how theatre, music, dance, and the visual arts can help us share our stories with others.
We are looking for teens who have an interest in the fine arts, volunteering, and working with older adults.
There is no cost to participate, although scholars will be responsible for their own transportation.
Only students who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be considered for the ARISE Scholars Program.
APPLY FOR THE ARISE SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Applications will remain open until noon on June 5, 2023.
