Our partner in the Kid's Art Clubs and mentoring projects is the Lana'i branch of VSA arts, an international, nonprofit organization founded in 1974 by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith to create a society where all people with disabilities learn through, participate in and enjoy the arts. |
 Mentoring Program Support The Lana'i Art Center works with the Lana'i branch of VSA Arts, an international organization that creates arts-related opportunities for people with disabilities. The Lana'i VSA mentoring program is also funded in part by the Coalition for Drug-Free Lana'i. We donate use of Art Center facilities - classrooms and studios in all disciplines, from drawing and painting to beadwork and ceramics - to the VSA mentoring program for adult mentors to work with special needs youth. We also provide free administrative and management consulting. The mentoring program runs every Monday. Adult mentors are funded, paid positions when grabnt funds are available. If you are an adult with skills to share with young people in need, please contact us at 808-565-7503 or the program coordinator, Dr. Sharie Liden, at 808-565-7910, Ext. 296. |
