Empowering Youth Through Arts Based Literacy Programs
20 Years and Going Strong!
We are in the thick of our 20th year of programming for Mentor Artists- MAPP Young Native Artists Initiative (formerly Mentor Artists Playwrights Project - MAPP).
Our workshops include playwriting, animation, acting, storytelling, and mask-making, culminating in exciting professionally produced presentations in schools, longhouses, community centers, and university theaters.
Through our innovative programming we have established a firm foundation upon which to build over the next 20 years! Currently, we have several exciting programs in development. These efforts require ongoing support. If you would like to contribute, please refer to our Donate pages.
MAPP PROGRAMS
Want to start something creative in your school, theatre, or neighborhood center? We offer specialized arts based training programs according to your community’s interests and needs.
By providing youth centered arts programming, the MAPP program has a ripple effect on whole communities, including peers, educators, parents, and leaders. Hundreds of youth have participated in the MAPP mentored workshops. In the process they are enhancing their literacy skills, developing self esteem, and participating in the community at large.
We are proud to be involved in the communities we serve..
