Offers an arts-based, social justice program for youth and young adults.   Participants collaborate with mentor artists in 16-week long sessions, meeting two times a week to dialogue, create, and share a meal. At the end of each session, youth lead and produce community-based events and actions where they share their creativity, vision, and new abilities. Rather than penalizing youth for being late or missing a class, program focuses on using incentives like stipends, relationships with mentor artists, and content relevant to their lives to keep participants engaged.   Has an agreement with the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office allowing program enrollment to be used as mitigation in achieving positive court-case outcomes. Additional programming is offered through monthly gatherings and special projects guided by the program's Youth Leadership Board.   Participation on this board offers a way for youth to stay involved after program completion, access continued learning opportunities, and build on their leadership skills. Monthly Leadership Gatherings are held on Saturdays from February through November at venues throughout King County.
