Overview

Opportunity Description

Art Beyond Cornell is a student-run organization that aims to bring new perspectives to both Cornell students and institutionalized youth by providing a means of self-expression, communication and growth through art. Students volunteer weekly at the MacCormick Secure Center, a high-security prison for boys and men up to 21 years of age in Brooktondale, New York, bringing a wide range of art projects to the residents. By sharing these projects with the Cornell community, students raise awareness of the American carceral system, specifically its consequences for youth. Art Beyond Cornell is a program of the David M. Einhorn Center of Community Engagement.
