YMCA Murals

Thanks to Tess Corriveau, I have had the honour of painting a few murals in her classroom at the YMCA. The Y Works Program helps youth (15-30) overcome barriers to employment by offering group-based workshops that focus on resume/cover letter writing, interview preparation, time management, and conflict resolution. Graduates are then connected to paid jobs within the community or relevant training in their chosen field.

This particular project’s focus was a 7-foot tree for her students to use to show participation. The concept was that as students circulate through the program, they each have the opportunity to add a cut out of their hand, filling up the tree with leaves. It is a fun way to visually represent the success of the program. She also requested a few additional logos to add some colour to the space which are shown below.
