What is Offhand?

Offhand is a program for alumni interns from MCA Denver’s Teen Leadership Programs and other teens interested in planning teen events.

Participants plan events and special projects, and occasionally partner with other organizations to paint murals, plan concerts, host film festivals, and much more! Offhand meets both in person and virtually. Ideation and planning for events happens online. As this group of teens is ever-changing, each group organizes a time that is convenient for all members.
