2007 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

  • Neighborhood: East Kensington
  • Change Partner: The Center for Literacy
  • Discipline: Media Arts

Missy will create a documentary with the Center for Literacy about their Adult Diploma Program, which is currently being revised to accommodate state standards. The Center's life-skills based program functions as an alternative to the GED and offers adults a second chance to earn a district-issued high school diploma, on their own time and at their own pace, with the guidance of a mentor. Missy hopes the film will raise awareness about the field of adult education, the size and nature of its population, and the funding issues programs like the Center's must face in today's educational climate.
