Arts & Literacy Program

What We’re About

Our Arts & Literacy Program is a FREE program that addresses the educational needs of children in Brooklyn and Queens, by providing them with opportunities to create, think, communicate, and problem solve, in an after school and summer programming setting.

What We Do

Our Arts & Literacy Program builds literacy in the widest sense of the word through creative writing, the visual & performing arts, martial arts, media literacy, gardening, fashion design, sports and yoga. The interdisciplinary curriculum builds upon the children's interests and strengths, using the same effective, holistic, multicultural approach which is the hallmark of all of the Coalition's programs. The program also offers art therapy, monthly Family Arts Nights with family literacy workshops, support for families, family educational trips, and apprenticeships for neighborhood high school students.

Who We Help

Our free programming is open to students in grades K-8 during after school and summer programming at the school locations listed above.
