With the support of its partners, Scarborough C.A.R.E.S. was able to run 2 additional programs this summer.
C.A.R.E.S. clicks, a photography based workshop for youth 12-14, ran for five weeks with two sessions a week focusing on advanced use of a digital camera and Photoshop editing. C.A.R.E.S. clicks centred on the local community surrounding the program location.
C.A.R.E.S also facilitated the digital arts portion of the Leaders In Training a program run by East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club which centered around providing youth 14-17 with life and employment skills. C.A.R.E.S. not only instructed the youth on proper use of the equipment, but participants were also able to develop their own work. As part of the program, they had the option of seeking placement with our regular summer workshop, instructing and assisting junior youth.
As always, C.A.R.E.S. work from all of our programs are featured on our blog and look for our upcoming projects on the East End Arts Portal.
