## Resource

Hundreds of people gathered to celebrate 20 stunning new benches crafted by young artists, unveiled at the end of Van Go’s summer JAMS program for teens. Since 1998, this nonprofit has commissioned over 500 benches, each a testament to the talent and growth of its participants. From client interviews to finished masterpieces, the artists developed teamwork, work ethic, and confidence — with one teen sharing how the program transformed her self-esteem and creative courage. This isn’t just art — it’s real-life skill-building that’s shaping futures one bench at a time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
