Arts to Grow (ATG) is a non-profit organization that collaborates with New York City metro area public schools and community organizations to provide music, visual arts, theater, dance and literary programs to underserved urban youth. Through our program, students discover joy in learning, become self-motivated, feel valued and gain confidence; ATG strives to provide children with the skills necessary to look beyond the limitations of their environment and become leaders now and in the future.
To learn more about our programs, please visit our website at www.artstogrow.org.
ATG is looking for skilled photographers to document our programs with kids. The time commitment is only 1-3 site visits over a period of 3 months; scheduling is flexible and dependent on the dates and times of a particular session's classes. This volunteer opportunity is focused on capturing ATG's arts classes in action, and and is also a chance for photographers to enhance their portfolios.
We seek your involvement so that we may make it possible to offer more inner-city kids opportunities to learn and grow through the arts.
TO APPLY: Please contact Arts to Grow director Mallory King at mking@artstogrow.org or by phone at 201-209-9886. Please include your contact info, home location, and a few samples of your work when applying.

Description
About Arts to Grow
Arts to Grow (ATG) is a non-profit youth development program partnering with schools and community organizations to bring classes in the arts to low-income youth. From September 2006 - June 2013, Arts to Grow has worked with 16 partner schools and community organizations serving 2000 kids living in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Hoboken and Newark, NJ.
Founded in February 2005 by Mallory King, ATG offers youth ages 5-18 opportunities to participate in performing, visual, and literary arts programs under the direction of qualified teaching artists. We have programs in New York City and northern New Jersey at schools and community centers.
Arts to Grow helps young people grow intellectually, artistically, and socially. We focus on students who have limited access to arts programming either in school or during out-of-school time. Through engagement in the artistic process, we offer participants opportunities to learn how to work productively with peers, with adults, and independently. Our programs nurture creativity, critical thinking, and self-esteem, helping each participant to develop a love of learning.
