About [Edit]
Community Works/West (CW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using the arts and education as a catalyst for change among underserved populations in the San Francisco Bay Area.
CW uses the arts to forge links between diverse cultures and communities, improve educational attainment, increase self-empowerment and social responsibility, and foster community development. CW collaborates with artists from diverse backgrounds, races, and disciplines to achieve these goals. CW primarily serves incarcerated populations and at-risk youth, offering arts programming at San Francisco County Jails and post-release facilities, as well as schools, after-school programs, and juvenile detention sites. Many CW programs culminate in public art exhibits or performances.
