Connecting Schools To Their Reusable Campus Resources
Conduits to Creativity
Holy Smokes! We receive donations of pencils, pens, markers, erasers, crayons and more on a regular basis throughout the year!
We think these supplies would be better off in the hands of kids for writing, drawing, coloring and expressing ideas and inspirations.
Through our Second Life School Supply Pilot Program we hope to make that happen.
Kids can reuse many of the things they already have to bring their creative genius to life.
Breaking news! We’re making a series of creating-at-home-and-school videos that are great for kids, families and teachers. During learning at home days or back in the classrooms we’ve got projects and prompts using recycled materials to share with you on YouTube! Come visit.
As I become more aware of the long standing injustices toward the Black and Brown community I want to be a part of the honest change that is necessary to move forward and heal . The whole C.O.Y.C. Board feels this way. We know creativity can help.
We find that reusing recycled materials in classrooms and during our art-at-lunch programs creates spaces where kids connect with one another. They find common focuses through the projects they make. Creating with basic materials like cardboard and paper is a level field of opportunity and inspiration. Everyone is equal in the eyes of creativity.
Creativity bonds. It is our goal that as kids spend time together through our program they focus on creativity, collaboration and connection. We hope that they embrace their differences and respect one another as individuals.
Exercising equality through respect is foundational. Spending time together making, problem solving and trouble shooting creates connection. It bonds them to one another.
