Mission Statement:
The mission of JAC is to engender in youth age (9-21) an awareness and investment in social and community issues through art and creative expression. By using such tools JAC empowers youth to approach and address the issues that impact their worlds on their own terms in order to raise their standard of living.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
The vision in our mission is to use the Junior Art Club (JAC) as a proven incubator capable of identifying and developing the creative potential of children and the youth in varied artistic forms and models. This would be through possible endless expressions of universal art so as to provide progressive opportunities for the youth in order to raise their standard of living in a sustainable development and eradicate poverty.
Program History:
Founded in January 2000 by Kelvin Asare-Williams, Junior Art Club is a fully registered non-governmental organisation unearthing the creative and artistic talents of children and the youth especially in urban slums using both educational and social approaches. The JAC began with the need to help seven half naked children loitering around the streets of Kanda, apparently from Nima, an inner city community. With just pencils and sheets of paper torn from exercise books, the gradual process of identifying and developing the human spirit with the arts began. Currently, JAC has over 490 members, with 13 branches in Accra, Adeiso,Ada, Daboase,Italy, USA and Australia.
JAC owns Ghana`s first and only children`s art gallery.
