“My son connects with the classes and teaching artists at Junior Center in a way that he doesn’t connect with any other activity or teacher in his life.” – Leah, Dean’s mom.
Why Creative Learning Works: A Parent’s Testimony from Junior Center
5,000 reasons to give to Junior Center
At Junior Center of Art and Science, we provide one-of-a-kind learning experiences for more than 5,000 students and families every year. Most of our students – more than 70% – get financial assistance from Junior Center to be able to attend our classes and camps.
Here is what your donation can do:
$650
Covers the cost for a student to attend summer camp.
$350
Provides a scholarship for our after-school program.
$250
Buys materials for an entire class.
$50
Covers the materials cost for one student to design and build their own project in our carpentry or digital design camps.
Your support now will help us remove financial barriers facing many East Bay families who want these experiences for their kids.
