ABOUT US

Young Guns exists to empower youth with the tools and resources they need to express themselves with clarity and confidence, while persevering as a creator. By strengthening their abilities to observe and act, they can influence the perception of the world around them, and subsequently, the people and communities within it. In turn, our aim is for our students to lead a purposeful life developing their passions that outlast their time in the studio and to strengthen the next generations to come.
