Megan Stevens, MCAS '23, serves as the Assistant Director of the C21 Children's Ministry Partnership for the Church in the 21st Century Center at Boston College. Before joining the C21 Center, she volunteered as a Campus Ministry and College Counseling Assistant through the St. Joseph the Worker program at St. Mary's Academy in Inglewood, CA, and completed a WorkArt Kunstverein Fellowship at the Museum f眉r Photographie Braunschweig in Germany. She was drawn to the C21 Center by the Center's budding children's ministry work, which directly aligns with her passion for expanding access to and cultivating love for creative expression. Her work with the C21 Children's Ministry Program through the Lilly Endowment draws on her inter-faith upbringing, her performing and visual arts education, and her experience in homeschool, classical, Christian, and Catholic educational settings, most recently instructing dancers of all ages and teaching elementary art using a faith-informed classical curriculum. She is grateful for the unique opportunity to build resources that combine art and faith to invite children to seek goodness, truth, and beauty in their daily lives.聽
