Teen Art Connect (TAC) programs at The Contemporary Jewish Museum (The CJM) bring together diverse teens from throughout the Bay Area to experience art and artists, explore identity and culture, and develop professional skills. The two signature programs, TAC Internship and TAC Fellowship, highlight The CJM's commitment to supporting and amplifying youth voices and creativity. TAC Interns participate in a year-round paid internships to get a behind the scenes look at careers in the arts, create programs for other teens and general audiences of The CJM, engage in creative wellbeing workshops, and receive mentoring from professional staff. TAC Fellows meet and work alongside artists and changemakers to explore issues of bias and discrimination, build knowledge and leadership skills, and use art to promote anti-bias learning. Fellows reflect on and share their identity stories; explore artists whose work promotes social justice, and learn from leaders and changemakers to better understand their roles and abilities in affecting change in their community. - text from CJM
