    Description

    Be a Mentor. Be a Superhero.

    Art Buddies is looking for caring adults to join our fall program at Lucy Laney Elementary School on Tuesdays!

    Here’s what you’ll do:

    • Be paired one-on-one with a student.
    • Create an original superhero character together.
    • Use our huge collection of art supplies (fabric, feathers, hot glue, and more!) to build a one-of-a-kind costume.
    • Celebrate with a costume parade and photoshoot.

    No artistic skills needed—just kindness, curiosity, and a willingness to have fun.

    The program runs on Tuesdays from 3:40 to 5:00 until December 16th.

    Be part of something joyful, hands-on, and unforgettable—for you and a child.
