VISION
Our vision is to use the Junior Art Club as a proven social and educational incubator capable of identifying and developing the creative potentials of children and the youth through the arts so as to provide them with progressive youth empowerment opportunities.
MISSION
The mission of JAC is to engender in youth age (9-21) an awareness and investment in social and community issues through art and creative expression. By using such tools JAC empowers youth to approach and address the issues that impact their worlds on their own terms in order to raise their standard of living.
HISTORY OF JAC
Founded in January 2000 by Kelvin Asare –Williams, Junior Art Club (JAC) is a fully registered non –governmental organization unearthing the creative and artistic talents of disadvantaged children & youth in urban slums using both educational and social approaches. The JAC began with the need to help 7 half naked children loitering around the streets of Kanda, apparently from Nima, an urban slum. With just pencils and sheet of papers torn from exercise books, the gradual process of identifying and developing the human spirit with the arts begun. In 2002 Flavia Di Mario, current Vice President of the Junior Art Club and a Volunteer established the JAC Italian branch.
