Treehouse Shakers
<div>Treehouse Shakers&rsquo; Branching OUT After-School program is for ages 12-14. This awarded program is for young people who identify as LGBTQIA+, or are seeking to become better allies. Branching OUT centers on discovering and exploring one&rsquo;s story and identity through an intentionally artist-led format. During our community-based program, young people will explore and reflect on their own story to create a larger, more meaningful experience, while gaining self-empowerment and gathering with like-minded peers. Through the guidance of our awarded teaching artists, young people will create narratives that will be turned into podcasts, dances, songs or poetry.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Young people have the opportunity to learn new art forms, work with professional artists, while building a meaningful community.</div>
Kids growing up in New York City have a great cultural advantage, what with so many parks, museums, and attractions at their fingertips. Tapping into the city’s sense of grandeur and pride, local author Bill Zimmerman published City Doodles New York, an interactive notebook in which families can explore the city on paper and fill in the blanks with their own illustrations. From subterranean subway scenes to butterflies at the Botanical Garden, City Doodles New York is an unfinished visual adventure around different parts of the city that a crayon or pencil can help complete—fill in the blanks with your family and add even more magic to the metropolis. billztreasurechest.com
