Boston Arts Academy
This 2025 February community service trip was centered around collaborating with the La Casa Azul organization and the local elementary and high school in the small community of Arroyo Blanco, to create artistic workshops, murals, and complete other beautification projects that reflect environmental sustainability and self-empowerment. For the elementary school, these included the renovation of the school playground and equipment, teaching mini-English lessons, creating movement-based exercises and warm up games that encouraged self expression and play, organizing basketball & volleyball games that emphasized teamwork, creating arts & crafts, such as making loom bracelets. For the high school, the team created a large mural that emphasized shared values and ideas between schools. They also initiated a recycling campaign, using art to communicate the importance of this practice in a way that was engaging and accessible.
