 POWERING CREATIVE LEARNING FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL YOUTH & THEIR SUPPORT NETWORKS.

During challenging times for our youth and community, opportunities for creative expression and access to creative education are needed now more than ever.

In honor of Arts Education Month, Elevate Oakland is partnering with MasterClass to help distribute 25,000 free annual MasterClass memberships to our community of students, families, educators and creatives.

 

Creativity is the key to success.

#UnlockCreativity is a campaign that emphasizes the importance and impact of creative education for developing youth built around a coordinated effort to empower the educational experience of our youth by distributing MasterClass memberships to our community throughout spring and summer 2021. 

By giving educators, families and students access to hundreds of courses featuring thousands of hours of in-depth instruction across a range of topics such as music, arts and personal development, we hope to inspire and empower our youth and their support networks through creative discovery during a time when access to in-person learning is so limited.

Seneca Family of Agencies (formerly Seneca Center) was founded in 1985 as a small Bay Area residential and day treatment program with a simple but powerful mission: to help children and families through the most difficult times of their lives. Since then, Seneca has expanded to provide a broad continuum of permanency, mental health, education, and juvenile justice services, which today reach over 18,000 youth and families throughout California and Washington State each year.

The agency’s growth has been guided by a commitment to our Unconditional Care® model – doing whatever it takes to help children and families thrive, even when faced with tremendous challenges.
