  • Overview
  • Requirements
  • Advising
Use your skills as an artist to find sustainable solutions to our biggest social challenges - in education, the environment, or community health – among others. Understand the latest in business-based, non-profit structures; the latest in audience and community engagement; and the latest in community teaching methods. Become part of a generation of artists who are leaders in their communities as they strive to make meaningful social change.
 

Artists in all fields can be catalysts for community change and invaluable team members for community-based organizations or partnerships of organizations in collective action. This certificate prepares students with arts training in all disciplines (film, creative writing, visual art, theatre, music and dance) for careers in community and civic leadership at non-profits or governmental agencies.

Students will learn:

  • the importance of communication and empathy across differences in culture, age, and ability;
  • visual, oral and written storytelling to inspire social change;
  • asset-based community development;
  • partnership building;
  • theories of change and leadership;
  • sustainable, non-profit business models; and
  • the unique role of artists in community development.
