Riverzedge Arts is a non-profit organization that provides paid, work-based learning for teens who create art and design products for real-world clients. Our program uses innovative applied and work-based learning strategies to teach art, design, and critical thinking, providing our participants and community with a path to economic and cultural sustainability. Our studios offer a range of services, including graphic design, photography, videography, public art installations, and screen printing. We empower youth to develop leadership skills, take on mentorship roles, and access human services while working towards their future goals. Through our programs, youth can earn academic credit, connect with external resources, and develop positive workplace habits and critical thinking practices.
