We often say that ENGAGE is called to the intersection of faith and the arts. We're honored to partner with Covenant-affiliated ministry NCircle and the JOCO Department of Corrections to offer fine arts classes at the JOCO Adult Corrections Facility in Gardner, KS. These courses are designed to give clients another tool to process their life and faith and to aid in recovery. The course supports NCircle's overall mission of connecting people to community opportunities to end the cycle of incarceration and stabilize families and futures.
Frequency
8-week courses offered in the Spring, Summer and Fall that each conclude with an art show and celebration.
Needs
- Classroom hosts who attend the course, interact with students and support to the teacher. No experience is needed!
- Financial donations to cover the cost of classes. We offer Fine Arts courses during the Spring, Summer & Fall semesters. Each class costs approx. $1,300 (covers the cost of an instructor and supplies). To donate, visit engagesouthkc.com/give. Select COLLEGE OF TRADES as the fund you'd like to donate to.
