JustArts

JustArts is an educational program that invites students in grades K – 12 to explore and encounter justice through the arts. As a program of The Freedom Rising School, JustArts is committed to raising ethical leaders for a more just society. As the young people express their creativity, they will discover where they can make a difference in their communities. JustArts explores themes of identity, belonging, and our purpose to be and bring hope and love to the world, inviting young leaders and emerging activists to a place where justice meets the arts.

  1. high quality academic enrichment

  2. parent and family involvement

  3. civic engagement and social action

  4. intergenerational leadership development

  5. nutrition, health, and mental health
