About Us
Van Go's JAMS program employs 20 high schoolers each year, each of whom is assigned one client to make a bench for.
The benches are $1,500 each, and requesting a spot on the client list requires a $100 deposit.
This year, Van Go will be surpassing 500 benches created since the program began in 1998.
Van Go has unveiled 20 new benches, which were crafted by their summer JAMS apprentice artists.
