CREATE Arts Center & Liberty’s Promise


Recently, our Volunteer Coordinator, Jamillah Abdullah, visited John F. Kennedy HS to speak to a group of teens as part of Liberty’s Promise community outreach program.

“Liberty’s Promise supports young immigrants in need while encouraging them to be active and conscientious American citizens. Our programs aim to make the immigrant experience an affirmative one for young newcomers while instilling in them a sense of pride and support for American ideals of democracy and freedom.” (Libertyspromise.org)

Many of the students were preparing to graduate and already had college degrees in mind. Jamillah shared with them how art could still be a part of their lives, no matter which career path they chose. 

“Being an artist doesn’t limit you to painting pictures”, she says. 

At CREATE Arts Center, our volunteers, interns and counselors-in-training learn there is a world of opportunity out there for anyone with a spark of creativity.
