"Each week at the end of class the kids sit on the carpet to read their poems. One girl refused to read because she was so shy. When she saw the support and applause the other kids were receiving, she decided to read her work. Seeing her confidence build over the course of the semester was amazing." |
Artists Reaching Out (ARO) |
"There has been one student in particular who is always in class, always participating, and really taking away everything we hoped that he would. Once after a lesson had been finished, this student approached one of the teachers and asked him to explain the concept further. It was wonderful to see this motivation and know that ARO can provide an opportunity for students who wouldn't necessarily have the outlet for artistic exploration."

Artists Reaching Out (ARO) believes in empowering children through arts education. ARO is not necessarily about creating artistic virtuosity. Instead, Columbia student volunteers plan classroom curriculum in which they use art as a means of inspiring creativity, building confidence, sparking passion, and forming powerful, trusting relationships with elementary school students at P.S. 125. For more information, please contact the ARO Coordinators. |
