Youth Led Humanities is a program that has opportunities for teens to lead and experience the humanities through a variety of activities.  Through a grant from PA HUMANITIES and IMLS we are able to offer a wide range of events where teens can try out different kinds of projects that they may not have experienced before.  For example, in the past we have tried pottery, jewelry making, building birdhouses, improv, attending musicals, visiting the Swedish Cabin in Upper Darby, doing 3D imaging, and taking a trip to Washington, DC where we were able to see the Library of Congress, tour the Capitol, and visit the National Air and Space Museum.  The activities we do are determined by the teens involved.

This summer we will be visiting Utility Works in Lansdowne twice.  On those dates (July 16th & July 30th) we'll go from 12:00 noon - 4:00.  (Teens must have a signed permission slip.) In the first session we'll learn how to put a design on a mug and in the second session we will use Glowforge to engrave an item.  We are also thinking of doing marbling, making alcohol ink prints on tiles, doing squeegee art, and making locker lamps. The crafts we do will be determined by the participating teens.
