We are always sad to say goodbye to these bright and hardworking students. It is our hope that we have helped these young adults to grow and learn as much as they have helped Art with a Heart succeed in its mission

ART OF LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
|
Welcome to the 2015-2016 Art of Leadership Cohort!
On August 23rd, Art with a Heart's inaugural cohort of
The Art of Leadership Program met for the first time! The 2015-2016 cohort consists of 19, 10th and 11th grade students from 15 different public and private schools in the Baltimore region.
The group enthusiastically participated in getting to know each other through icebreakers and team building activities. It was wonderful to see their personalities emerge as we worked together.
The highlight of the session was hearing from
Wes Moore
who graciously shared his time with the group. He spoke to the youth about leadership, community and service.
Mr. Moore took the time to talk with all our leaders individually, signed their books and posed for pictures. It was truly a special night.
