KVPAC Community Outreach Overview
|
KVPAC acts as a dynamic catalyst by partnering with non-profits, local businesses and corporations to initiate, provide and sustain a variety of community outreach programs/services to underserved populations including financially disadvantaged, At-risk youth, as well as mentally and physically disabled residents of all ages. All outreach programs represent one of our three mission focus areas.
Last year, 85% of outreach program participants are served free-of-charge.

HEALING
KVPAC recognizes the therapeutic value of the Arts to uplift, edify and encourage people in varied circumstances and has developed the "Healing Arts" programs. The Hands on the Arts program is a semester course taught at Houston Community College for students with mental and physical disabilities. Students enjoy cross-curriculum instruction and practical applications in visual arts, theatre arts and computer literacy training concluding with a gala performance and art exhibition for family and friends
