In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman chat with Kimball Jenkins’ director of programming Yasamin Safarzadeh and Waypoint’s program manager Sarah Jones live at the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts Arts Partnership, Fall 2023 conference Woven: Gathering at the Intersections at Sanborn Mills Farm in Loudon, NH.

In this interview, Yazamin and Sarah talk about the creation of a mural at Waypoint’s Drop In Center in Manchester, working with unhoused youth and young adults who are clients at Waypoint's Homeless Youth Services. We learn about the program’s process and challenges, the skills youth participants will develop while participating in the mural project, how program organizers build trust and create a safe for homeless youth, and much more.

We’d also like to thank the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts for inviting us to be part of their conference. Learn more about what they do at www.nh.gov/nharts.
