A five-year-old art organization provides job opportunities to high school students to produce community fine arts projects.
Youth Experiencing Artistic Hope Corps (YEAH!) is a non-profit organization that works with MassHire and local schools to recruit and hire teens looking to expand their portfolio while working on commissioned community art projects.
YEAH! Corps runs year-round and employed 30 students this past summer. If you drive around Fall River, you have likely seen a YEAH! Corps commissioned project.
Ms. Martins says youth artists at YEAH Corps come away with more than practical experience, they also learn about being a productive citizen.
Teens interested in becoming a member of YEAH! Corps can find out more about job opportunities on the organization’s website.
