Welcome!

We're super excited for our trip to chicago this coming saturday!

The trip will be a little different last year, due to the small size of the group and much more down time. But with that down time, we hope to fill it in with more community work and group bonding, learning how to serve by using art.

This year we'll be working with Little Black Pearl (an after school program for those who work with arts to build awareness about the issues in their community), Free Street Theatre (a theatre that has high school/middle school aged kids writing and producing their own material), and a workshop with Beyond Media (specifically, a program called 'chain of change'. A program that has people up to the age of 24 go around their community and just videotape it and their lives).

For our downtime we plan on visiting museums, going on a mural tour in the city of chicago, and much more (hopefully!).

Hopes and Fears:
1. We hope that our group will get along amazingly!
2. We fear that we'll have TOO much downtime...and not enough volunteering/community building.
3. We hope that we can learn about community arts and bring it back to MN.
