	<description># The Lab is an Arts &#38; Wellness-based program of Saint Paul Public Schools. We serve youth in special education in grades 7-12. Through 1×1 mentorships, small groups and large group Enrichment experiences, youth are inspired, encouraged and empowered to discover, understand and share their voices and the truth of their lives. Through creative and experiential opportunities, youth practice social skills and find healthy ways to understand and express themselves.</description>
