Young Artisans Online

The Young Artisans program is an initiative designed enable talented senior school age young people to have a safe place for an online profile and potentially sell their work. This program aims to provide aspiring artisans with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to get online.

In addition to skill development, the Young Artisans program also focuses on building a supportive community. Participants have the opportunity to collaborate with peers, share ideas, and receive constructive feedback on their work. This collaborative environment fosters a sense of belonging and encourages young artisans to pursue their passions with confidence.

As the program continues to grow, it aims to establish partnerships with local schools and community organizations to reach a broader audience. By engaging with diverse groups, the Young Artisans program aspires to create an inclusive space where talented young individuals can explore their artistic potential online in a real world scenario, regardless of their background.
