ROI Initiative

The focus of the 2016 initiative is SKETCH. SKETCH creates opportunities for young people (ages 16 to 29) living on the streets, homeless, or otherwise on the margins, to experience the transformative power of the arts. SKETCH helps them foster leadership and economic self-sufficiency through the arts to cultivate social and environmental change.

SKETCH’s model of youth engagement targets both practical and transferrable skills, serving as a conduit for social and civic participation. Participants endorse this model as an effective and empowering approach to surmounting the constraints and stigma of poverty, homelessness, and marginalization.

The goal of this ROI project is to improve and refresh SKETCH’s admin hub.
