David

David Van Horn has continually contributed to positive change where he lives. Since he was a teenager, David has been devoted to his neighborhood of St. Clair/ Superior and its residents. He worked as a tutor in the Cleveland Public libraries at the neighborhood branches. He then worked at Upcycle Parts Shop, first as a liaison for the community cooking circle and Gardeners group, then as a liaison for the Ag|re|Culture program at the St. Clair/ Superior Development Corporation in conjunction with the Upcycle Outreach program. These two programs enabled residents to continue to learn about their neighbors through food tastings, art workshops, cooking potlucks, teen gardening with MYCOM and senior outreach. David’s goal is to create an art cart with a traveling paraprofessional in the St. Clair, Superior and Hough neighborhoods. The program would serve both afterschool programs and senior centers and provide free arts and crafts with the winter months being dedicated to semi private art classes at indoor venues.
