ArtUnity Youth hosts an ongoing, supervised in-person service program where students create encouragement cards for hospital patients. Volunteers design hospital-appropriate cards, write supportive messages, and help package donations for healthcare partners. Each month features a different positive theme to guide the artwork, cards, and supportive messages: January: A Fresh Start, February: Sending Love and Kindness, March: You Are Not Alone, April: Hope and Strength, May: One Day at a Time, June: Bright Days Ahead, July: Courage in Every Step, August: Keep Going, September: Small Steps, Big Hope, October: You Are Stronger Than You Know, November: Grateful for You, and December: Warm Wishes and Brighter Days.
Please feel free to bring friends or younger students who would like to learn art! During the summer, ArtUnity Youth will also offer free art classes for kids, where students will teach children drawing skills and help them explore creativity through fun art activities.
No prior art experience or special skills are needed. We will teach you what to do at each session, and then you can help create cards, support younger students, and assist with art activities.
All art supplies will be provided. Students only need to come ready to learn, create, and help. Students can attend for 1–2 hours within this time window, and registration is required. When you arrive, please look for a BIG Teddy Bear wearing an ArtUnity Youth T-shirt.
Parking is available in Garage B, with free parking for up to 90 minutes. Multiple entries are allowed.
Students earn 1 SSL hour per 60 minutes of verified participation, with a maximum of 2 hours per session, based on supervisor attendance. All artwork must meet program guidelines and will be reviewed and approved on-site by the ArtUnity Youth program manager before SSL hours are verified. ArtUnity Youth will not meet on days when the library is closed, including federal holidays such as New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Schedule updates or skipped dates will be announced in advance. Please email artunityyouth@gmail.com or text 301-785-9885 directly with any questions.
