More about our YA programs...
HopeCAT offers free after-school Youth Arts programs for students grades 9-12. Through structured curriculum and a unique blend of students from many different districts in the region, HopeCAT works with students in the area to enrich education through the use of creative arts and mentorship.
We expose youth to the arts by offering a rigorous, year-round, after school arts-based program for local high school students. We are initially partnering with several school districts in the Shenango Valley, but ultimately we will serve the entire region.
Our programs use a combination of high-tech tools, compelling classes, and caring adults to help youth explore the arts and pursue their education in high school and beyond.
