Expressive Path instructors provide lessons, workshops, art lectures, and career guidance at local recreation centers, schools, alternative programs, and youth shelters. Expressive Path boosts positive self-esteem by creating opportunities for teens to showcase their art in the community and providing the tools necessary to do so through your donations.
