Youth Arts Against Violence (YAAV) is an initiative by Eclypse to promote anti-violence messaging amongst youth (Age 12-24) through creative arts-based programming. Eclypse has designed its programs to inspire self-esteem and self-confidence in youth by utilizing artistic expression. The ultimate goal is to equip youth with the tools to deal with violence in a constructive manner. All workshops are completely free! Here’s what they have to offer:
