Designing, craft building, innovating...at Space of Her Own, preteen girls experiment with art and uncover unique talents with the encouragement of caring mentors. Girls are paired with professional adult female volunteers and engage in visual arts and life skill lessons to open their worlds to new possibilities. Pairs meet in a group setting one night a week for the initial program year, which culminates in a team effort to give each girls' bedroom a makeover.
Please visit http://spaceofherown.org to begin the application process. For more information, please email Katherine Matthews at recruitment@spaceofherown.org.
Space of Her Own programs are managed in partnership with the City of Alexandria's Court Service Unit, Alexandria Public Schools and The Art League
