Do you like working with teens? archi-treasures has many summer volunteer opportunities working with community partners to engage youth in community development projects. You would participate in visual arts programs during which the teens and project artist plan, produce, and build their work, the same process an artist follows when designing and creating a site-specific public art work. archi-treasures works collaboratively with groups of community partners to bring this process to life—where the community becomes the youths ’ classroom and where one’s own experiences lead to solving authentic problems in creative ways.
