About this event

This hands-on creative workshop will engage middle school students at the Marion YMCA Rec Center in a fun, festive activity that combines creativity, self-expression, and gift-giving. Participants will take instant photos and design personalized winter holiday picture frames using decorative materials, seasonal patterns, and festive embellishments. Students will explore basic crafting and design techniques while creating a unique keepsake to give to a parent, guardian, or loved one. Led by Ohio State Marion's Youth and Community Learning program, this workshop supports our commitment to providing accessible, engaging educational enrichment opportunities for local youth beyond the traditional classroom. Through our partnership with the Marion YMCA, we aim to strengthen community connections, introduce students to Ohio State Marion's outreach programming, and encourage creativity and confidence. Each student will leave with a completed holiday gift and a positive experience connecting with Ohio State Marion in their community.
