MISSION: Coyote sparks creativity in young people, putting tools in their hands to build skills and forge their future.
Over 1,700 young people ages 10 to 16 come to Coyote Central year-round for 20-hour hands-on workshops with professional artists, chefs, furniture makers, fashion designers, metal artists, animators, dancers, filmmakers, and many other creative people.
