During weekends classes would need to be on Weekend afternoons.
Arts-based programs for juvenile offenders are highly empowering and transforming for the participants. These programs support the premise that participation in arts programming reduces risk factors that cause youth to be more susceptible to problem behaviors and crime (e.g., social alienation, school failure, impulsivity) and enhances protective factors that reduce the impact of risk factors and enable youth to lead productive lives (e.g., by increasing communication skills, conflict management techniques, and positive peer associations).
