The Youngstown Office will be closed on Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9 as our staff participates in an Unlearning Institutalized Racism workshop with other members of the DNDA and Youngstown community.

DNDA's DELRIDGE DAY: BRIDGING COMMUNITY THROUGH ARTS AND RESOURCES IS ON MAY 31!

This event will be an all day celebration, including a resources fair, creative arts workshops, youth performances, a mural project and delicious local food. Gabriel Teodros will be the lunchtime headliner; other performers include the Dance Empowerment Project, the Quito Sol Mariachi Group, and members of Youngstown's Programming Committee.

People of all ages are invited to participate in workshops ranging from circus arts to African drumming. In addition, the artist residents will curate a exhibit of their work and facilitate the Art Lending Library, which gives community members an opportunity to borrow art pieces for free installation in their homes for two months.

Volunteers are still needed to help promote the event and the day of to ensure a smoothly run, fun-filled day! If you and your friends and family are interested in helping out, read below for volunteer opportunities and contact Programming Coordinator Estrella de Leon at estrellad@dnda.org.
