What is Community Futures School?
MOCHA's Community Futures School (CFS) program uses Afrofuturism, arts integration, and futures literacy as part of a community-building toolkit to imagine and to implement their communities and their world. Through CFS, youth continually create a personal life experience of accomplishing projects and being able to talk about their process with peers and other future community innovators.

Past Exhibitions
In the Spirit of Creativity
March 21 - April 20, 2024
MOCHA provides a space for students to experience their art in an exhibition at the Museum. We want our students to see themselves represented through their art, giving them confidence and pride in their expression. MOCHA sponsored an exhibition for our Department of Education (DOE) schools, which include Laurel Elementary School, OAK Academy and Bridges Academy. Madison Park Academy Primary was an additional in-school program represented in the exhibit. Teaching Artists will exhibit their students' work from grades TK thru 5th Grade.
