Dreams Of Hope

Sqool focuses on in-school and outside-of-school time knowledge and resource dissemination about lgbtqa+ identity, visibility, and access to resources through arts-based workshops and collaborative community events. There are several components to the sqool program: in-class residencies connecting dreams of hope teaching artists with classroom teachers to augment curriculum with arts practice and dialogue on lgbtqa+ themes in a manner that is aligned with common core curricula and state standards. Out-of-class residencies are delivered in partnership with in-school allies. These are youth-curated environments that engage students in art creation and conversation on lgbtqa+ topics. Additional one-time arts workshops expose the public to dreams of hope, and our programming and professional development activities.

Community programs include youth advisory council, queerness and nature residency, and the dreams of hope mentorship program
