EMPOWERING YOUTH
Maritza says her experiences at The Crucible helped her
to develop self-confidence, as both a woman and an
artist. A Fuego Leader in the Welding Department, Maritza
was initially afraid of using the welding equipment alone.
But with support from her mentor, Maritza completed a
complex, multidisciplinary bust of Frida Kahlo. She will
return as a second year Fuego Leader this summer, and in
the fall will attend Mills College on a full scholarship.
ART STUDENTS
DO BETTER
Research shows that art students score higher on
standardized tests, are less likely to be suspended, and feel
more optimistic about attending college. Each year, hundreds
of Bay Area youth explore their creativity in our studios,
deepening their understanding of STEM concepts, while
creating their own unique works of art.
