King School in Stamford recently welcomed a group of JFS youth clients for a series of creative afternoons as part of the Home Through Art project, an initiative designed to help students explore and express what “home” means to them through painting.
The sessions were made possible through the support of King School staff members Lindsey Rossler, Karen Raidt, Brady Shoemaker, Ran LaPolla, Corina Alvarezdelugo, and Garrett Mendez, along with dedicated King student volunteers who helped create a warm and encouraging environment.
Throughout the program, the young participants created artwork that reflected their personal stories and experiences. After each session, the group shared snacks and wrapped up the day with an energetic game of soccer, building connection and confidence alongside creativity.
The project culminated in a special celebration for students and their families. Guests enjoyed a performance by Project Music, with pizza generously provided by King School. The students’ artwork was proudly displayed, offering families a powerful and joyful opportunity to see their children’s creativity honored in a community setting.
JFS is deeply grateful to King School for their thoughtful partnership and for creating such a welcoming space where youth could express themselves, build community, and experience the arts as a positive outlet for growth and healing.
