STUDENTS ARE AMBASSADORS FOR ARTS

The Ohio Alliance for Arts Education offers a unique community service opportunity for high school students in conjunction with Ohio’s annual Arts Day and Governor’s Awards for the Arts in Ohio.  Six high schools from around the state will be chosen to send a team of ten students to Columbus to serve as student advocates as part of the OAAE’s Ohio Arts Ambassadors for Education program.  These students will participate in a range of activities highlighting the value and importance of the arts and arts education as a part of a complete curriculum.  This is a valuable opportunity for your students to participate in the democratic process in a way that is personally meaningful to them. PFW has sponsored this program”lobby day” for many years.  60 students from around the state will meet  on March 25th with  their legislators and sharing the message that the arts create jobs and stimulate economic activity.
