Our mission
Movement City, part of Lawrence CommunityWorks, is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Lawrence, MA.
We are a safe space for creative young people (ages 10 to 18) to explore and develop their talents and passions with a network of like-minded peers and supportive adult mentors.
What we do
Movement City engages our youth members through creative education with a focus on performing and visual arts in a small workshop format featuring a 1:11 ratio. Through community collaborations, we aim to provide paid opportunities for our youth.
Movement City members engage in digital, performance, and visual arts, as well as technology, academic support, civic engagement and leadership development activities.

“Movement City gave me the freedom to be myself with no judgement. It’s another home for me.”

“Getting to be a part of MC has always been a very fulfilling and fun experience. Now as a Teaching Assistant, I get to help the youth of the community unleash their creativity through the different mediums of art at MC. Especially in Lawrence, where there are a lot of youth from underrepresented backgrounds. At MC kids can feel heard, and I love to be a part of that.”
