Teen in a Hoodie RSVP POSTPONED
2024-02-19 10:30 - 14:30 | North Community Church Parish House, 83 Old Main Street, Marshfield Hills, MA, 02051, United States
Teen in a Hoodie is a two-day event for High School aged students.
Could you help one of your friends faced with a tough decision? Of course you could!
Students will work with Master Grafitti Artists Jessica and Jay Mac to create a large canvas with the group, depicting visuals that represent responses to social and emotional scenarios young people face and experiences with substances and mental health challenges. The result will be a visual display for the community to see and hear the voices of young people.
Each person will create their own graffiti canvas and individual messages that resonate will be displayed with the large canvas.
Open to all high school-aged students, snacks and lunch will be provided. Bring a friend, or 2, and please register all participants.
The canvas will be shared with the community during an unveiling reception at JPH at Ferry Hill in March (details available soon).
Be prepared to attend on two days, Monday (2/19) and Wednesday (2/21) from 1030am to 2:30pm
