The CYC Teen Arts program aims to increase access to artistic and creative programming during out-of-school times for high school aged youth at Balboa and SF International High Schools. The program provides opportunities for youth to voice their creativity and express themselves through art while encouraging self-discovery and self-expression. The program educates students about different forms of art such as screen printing, drawing, digital arts, spoken word, and theater.

A rotation of different art classes each semester challenges the creativity of the students and exposes them to different art forms. Ideas for each class come from CYC staff, many of whom were past participants in the program. Staff ensure a safe environment for exploration while also encouraging growth through creative projects such as yearbook, art contests, and a showcase at the end of the semester.
