The ASWi CHAI LEARNING programs originally started in NYS in the 1980's providing summer camp programs and arts in homeless shelters, churches and schools in impoverished communities for at-risk students. Through the inspiration of our Founder, Rachel Hughes, the programs expanded to Philadelphia PA, Brooklyn NY, Washington DC, Baltimore MD, Los Angles CA, San Fransisco CA, Austin TX , Asheville NC, and Miami FL. Starting in 2007, in a partnership with Miami-Dade Public Schools, ASWi expanded into 10 schools serving the Florida Community with robust after-school arts programs. Due to the CV lockdown and the closing of schools programs switched to online career coaching support for students as they continued to build professional websites and content that sets each student apart as an individual who can present their unique abilities on the career path of their choice. |
ART STUDIO MIAMI @ ITECH
Art Studio World : MIAMI began sponsoring Art Programs in 2007 at Edison Middle School, now known as iTECH High School. The schools had lost funding for the Art Teacher salary and requested that ASWi MIAMI, an after-school program, help out during the day hours and run the art room. The team at ASWi raised the funds and was able to support to keep the arts in the school. Since that time ASWi has been in contract agreements with the MDPS to support the students with creative thinking tools that empower them to be critical thinkers and find their unique styles.
The importance of the Arts in Education has been studied and shown that providing students with a creative outlet brings excitement and inspiration to counter balance the rigorous academic schedules. ASWi works with the students, their teachers and parents, to compliment their academic goals with unique content for their websites that sets them apart from others applying for college and career jobs. |
