Mission Statement
ARCK’s mission is to empower diverse learners of all backgrounds to develop character, well-being, creativity, and social awareness through our holistic education framework.
About This Cause
ARCK is a forward-thinking, innovative nonprofit dedicated to educating marginalized communities since 2012. Our mission is to transform education through a holistic approach that integrates creativity, well-being, and social awareness into learning. By focusing on empathy, imagination, creative and critical thinking, confidence, and expression, ARCK’s programs cultivate positive characters prepared to lead social innovation. We train and coach educators, equipping them with the tools to foster these essential skills in their students, ultimately driving social impact and empowering diverse learners. Sara Mraish-Demeter, an immigrant and refugee, founded ARCK in 2012 after her son’s school lost its arts program. Having relied on arts and creativity for stability and healing in her own journey, she was determined to restore this vital tool for students. Over a decade later, ARCK has engaged nearly 7,000 students, transforming classrooms in under-resourced schools through its interdisciplinary teaching model, which enhances creative thinking, problem-solving, social-emotional growth, and a social justice mindset. The Creative Catalyst Framework drives ARCK’s in-school programs, student internships, educator training, and community initiatives, empowering young creators to drive change.
