- PEER CREATIVES ACADEMY
Child Cause's United States/Canada based outreach initiative. We provide a peer network for teens between the ages of 12-19 affected by AIDS and substance abusive homes. We host events and offer courses for our teen peer group ranging from education programs, sports, and artistic platforms.
We provide mentorship and peer support to teens that are left behind as their family works on beating the addiction in their homes. Peer Creatives Academy is a fraternity our teens can proudly participate in and thrive throughout their lives removing stigma they face every day. We compliment the existing platforms available as they battle substance abuse.
Example of Programs we build for our teens:
CHICAGO ART COURSES
Through our collaboration with various art schools we are pleased to offer art courses ranging from sculpture, ceramics, painting, photography, video, and more.
