About Van Go
Van Go is a nationally recognized award-winning, arts-based social service agency for qualifying youth, ages 14-24. We currently offer 3 paid employment programs, The Arts Train, JAMS, and PEPP (Pre-Employment Prep Program) throughout the year. With each program catered to a specific age group, we are able to offer both employment and life skills to youth to help better prepare them for the workforce and an independent life.
Using art as the vehicle for self-expression, self-confidence, and hope for the future, Van Go empowers young people to create their own vision of success.
Art is what you see, jobs are what we do.
Our Vision: To spark self-expression and hope.
Our Mission: To inspire young lives through art, work, and community.
