We are in need of junior leaders ages 9-13 to help assist attendees at a variety of art project stations at the Museum of Wisconsin Art on May 10. If your child is ready for a little extra responsibility, this is the perfect experience for them!

Activities

Junior Leaders will assist attendees at the Creating Art Projects for Children in Foster Care event at the different art project stations. The projects created at these stations will be distributed to children in foster care. Junior leaders will also be able to explore the museum before or after their shift. We are asking that a parent or caregiver accompany them. 

Junior Leaders will be assigned to one of the following craft stations:

• • – Birthday Crowns: Attendees will have the opportunity to make a crown to be included in Birthday Buddy Bags and make a crown for themselves to take home.
  • – Calming Art Kits: Attendees will help paint large pieces of paper to create interesting patterns and textures to collage with. They will then be cut into a variety of shapes. All of the elements will be put into a Ziploc bag along with an instruction/idea sheet so recipients understand the purpose of the activity kit. The final product will be a kit, including a small journal and materials needed to create a collage. These kits will give foster kids something quiet to focus on as they work through processing their changing situation.
  • – Chalkboard Room Signs: We all fill our living spaces with our favorite things and mementos – it is what makes a house a home. Attendees will decorate chalkboard room signs. These room signs will enable the kids to personalize their space and help give them a sense of belonging. Whether they hang it on a bedroom door or above their bed, it will help them establish their space as their own. The kit will include a decorated chalkboard room sign, chalk, and a 3m hook for hanging.

Kids will gain confidence, practice responsibility, and work collaboratively with others to solve problems as they grow their leadership skills
