Summit County After-School Program

Arts-Kids runs after-school groups once a week in all Summit County elementary schools and Arts-Teens groups in both middle schools. The program is free to all participants. Grants and private donations make this possible.

Under the guidance of professional facilitators and professional artists, students build community and develop life skills through the expressive arts. School guidance counselors refer students to the program.
