Alameda Arts was born in January 2012. Its mission is to provide arts enrichment for all while keeping the values of kindness, acceptance, and creativity at the forefront, with programs that focus on creative exploration and encourage students of all ages to tap into their imagination and explore the potential of the arts and play. The program offers play-based, art-infused, child-focused after school enrichment for students in grades K–5, with programs centered around the child and a goal for after school to feel like playing in the neighborhood. Alameda Arts also launched Create Like a Kid™ in 2020 to make space for grown ups to have fun with art.
Staff must pass a Live Scan screening with the Department of Justice and have proof of a negative TB test to work with children. Professional development and ongoing training are provided for all staff, and staff are often found through friends and family networks. The leadership team includes Ms. Kate and Ms. Hazel as Founders, Ron Whittaker as Director of Operations, Dorothy P-D as Social Media Supervisor, Kiele Head as Social Media Coordinator, and Neema Wangyal as Lead Video Editor, along with multiple Site Directors and Teaching Staff at Paden, Maya Lin, Otis, and Nea CLC.
Alameda Arts values the importance of children choosing how to play and learn after school and has built a joyful community of families. They employ high schoolers so students have big friends, and many middle school students who are Alameda Arts alumni drop in to visit and play. One parent says, “I love the support and understanding my child has through the program. Ms. Kate and the other leaders are compassionate and kind. My son loves this program!”
