EGA Youth Programs

I don't know a lot about the EGA Youth programs, but everything I've seen involves working with kids at their level without dumbing things down. I think that is very important - I learned to embroider at age 5 or 6 and one of the first stiches my mom taught me was the french knot. In third or fourth grade at my elementary school we all made 11X14 or so embroidered tapestries on burlap with rug yarn. Kids can do more than follow the dots! This becomes clear in the EGA's annual youth exhibit "Fresh Perspectives", which can be seen here.
