Children's After School Arts (CASA)

CASA (Children’s After School Arts) is an independent, nonprofit, creative arts after school program with an emphasis on social justice and social emotional development. CASA has special outreach to marginalized communities including LGBTQ families and gender expansive youth. We serve kindergarten through sixth graders, and also offer a service learning opportunity for seventh graders. Our diverse team of artist/educators are committed to addressing social justice themes; not just in the top-notch creative arts curriculum, but also in daily interactions with students. CASA teachers encourage positive connections and community building. We focus on relationships and communication and work daily on peaceful conflict resolution using restorative practices.

At CASA, we are dedicated to guiding San Francisco youth towards open expression, expansive hearts and questioning minds.
