Thank you for your interest in MOCA Teen Art Force!
MOCA's Teen Art Force is a free afterschool program that offers students the ability to develop their artistic skill and voice while participating in various open studio times, community service projects, team building activities, public speaking opportunities, and a variety of field trips.
We ask that both student and parent/guardian fill out the registration form and student information form together. Registrants must be 13-17 years old, a Miami-Dade resident, and must attend a minimum of 25 classes throughout the run of the three sessions in order to receive their service hours for the program.
Students are able to register for one or more classes during the week and must complete the registration fully. The Teen Art Force program is funded by The Children's Trust and Miami-Dade County, which collects information gathered in order to better serve South Florida's children.
