This class is run in collaboration with Lexington High School’s Munroe Art Mentors Club, headed by co-presidents Hannah Sul and Khadijah Mohmand. The program was developed to provide more opportunities for local students to connect, after Sul joined MCA's volunteer community and summer camp staff. The club encourages local teens to get involved in the arts, participate in the community, and develop leadership experiences as positive role models for younger student bases. |
