Connecting Youth to the Arts: The Planting Peace Program
With a trained local artist, youth use acrylic paint techniques to create a community art mural at UFM Community Learning Center while exploring the concepts of peace within, peace between, and peace among. Horticulture “planting peace” programming will also be explored in the UFM greenhouse.

This program is exclusively designed to create a community of peacemakers to empower youth and develop their social, emotional, and community awareness skills. This series is offered on a weekly basis, and youth can sign up for one week or all 10 weeks depending on their interests and scheduling availability. Youth learn art basics using different artistic mediums while communicating about peace in their communities. Youth will have opportunities to work individually and together on project-based learning including murals, textiles, and mixed media. Youth need to wear clothing they can get dirty in! All classes are held at UFM's Solar Addition in our Greenhouse or Peacebuilding Room, 1221 Thurston St.
Fee: $75.00
