Refugee Neighbors

Share your Crafty Skills with our Refugee Youth this Summer!

Location: WESTMINSTER
Monday-Thursday
June 15-18
9:45 a.m. - Noon

Nations Ministries has a JIL request! 

Would we be able to provide activities such as pom-poms, knitting, oil painting, punch needling, marbleizing, canvas painting, pottery, collage, basket weaving, wood projects, hot pads, etc——for 45 middle schoolers.

4 groups of 10-11

Each group would have 1-2 JIL leaders and 1 NM staff person. 
Leaders: Plan just ONE 2-hour activity you can repeat for all groups. 

We would focus not so much on a finished product, but giving everyone a chance to experience the process of various crafts —whether individually or as a group.

Group examples: a pottery plate with everyone’s input, big pom pom hanging, an oil painted banner, a group collage with a main theme, wood project. etc. 

Individual examples: marbleizing a book cover, create a hot pad, one pottery piece, bead bracelet, etc.

Draft of the Schedule Below:

Let us know what you think!  We can have multiple leaders if you cannot make the entire week. Let me know if you could lead/co-lead. Include what activity you would like to have fun doing in the message box in the form below. Or if you have a different craft idea, let me know that too!  

To help us plan, please let us know what will work for you!
