Our Programs
United We Go offers community-centered arts programming designed to build confidence, celebrate diversity, and strengthen community connection across the Great Lakes Bay Region.
Youth Arts Education
Our Voice of Youth Podcast Club serves students in grades 4–12 through hands-on arts education in storytelling, public speaking, interviewing, and audio production.
Public Art & Murals
Through our City of Mural Community Festival, artists, youth, and residents collaborate to transform public spaces with murals that reflect cultural identity, unity, and local pride.
Youth Empowerment Through Creative Expression
Our I AM Youth Fashion Show and empowerment programs use fashion, movement, and performance to build confidence, leadership, and positive self-identity.
Community Festivals & Creative Events
We host inclusive, family-friendly events that bring people together through art, music, storytelling, and cultural celebration.
Community, Cultural & Healing Impact
United We Go supports folk and traditional arts by uplifting cultural storytelling, community heritage, and creative traditions rooted in local identity.
Our murals, festivals, and storytelling projects reflect the voices and histories of the communities we serve.
We also integrate healing arts into our programming by creating safe, supportive spaces for self-expression, confidence-building, and emotional well-being through creative activities.
Our programs are inclusive and accessible for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that everyone can participate fully in arts and cultural experiences.
Serving the Great Lakes Bay Region
United We Go provides arts and cultural programming across rural and regional communities in the Great Lakes Bay Region.
By partnering with schools, community centers, and creative spaces, we bring arts education and public art directly to where people live and gather.
Our regional approach expands access for youth and families who may have limited opportunities to participate in creative experiences due to distance or transportation barriers.
Youth Leadership & Advisory Council
United We Go empowers young people to help shape our programming through a Youth Advisory Council.
Youth participants from our arts and leadership programs serve as ambassadors, advisors, and creative contributors.
They provide feedback on programming, assist with event planning, support community outreach, and help guide youth-centered initiatives. This builds leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while ensuring youth voices remain at the center of our work.
