UPDATE: Organization of young artists beautifying Fall River’s Flint this summer
Have you noticed lately that the Flint section of Fall River looks a little brighter?
YEAH! Corps is a non-profit based at 335 South Main Street in Fall River, that engages high school age youth in Fall River in the many diverse forms of art to create opportunities that will inspire youth to realize their potential. They are working artists and learn new techniques in order to fulfill their commissions thanks to donations and grants.
Teens are paid an hourly wage to create engaging, innovative, art and design products for businesses, municipalities, and individual clients. Clients pay real money for the creativity and products of these young people.

“This is something nice, hopefully they can do some Patriotic, and ‘Norman Rockwell’ scenes?”
