Student Run Programs

Art Program

The Art Program, created by CC students, is a collaboration among New London after-school programs and OVCS. Connecticut College students meet with children for weekly art sessions designed to assist children in expressing their emotions and feelings in non-violent ways through creative art. College students create a nurturing, non-competitive, non-threatening environment and teach art skills in a variety of mediums. An Art Program Student Coordinator works with CC Art Program Student Mentors and OVCS staff to create and implement a variety of artistic activities that range from building ginger bread houses to painting classes, and arts and crafts to dance lessons.
