The Global Youth Media & Arts Program (MAP) is an arts education program for middle and high school students and their teachers in New York City and the San Francisco. Through the MAP youth use their own lives and communities as a platform to examine a global theme - Immigration and Identity - using visual arts, performance, and media. This program illuminates the connections between community and world affairs and helps young people learn to use art and media as tools for self-expression, dialogue, and community engagement.
