Justine Stehle

Justine Stehle is a program facilitator for ARTZ Philadelphia. She joined the organization in September 2017.

She is a licensed clinical social worker who earned her master’s degree in social work from New York University, after which she worked in New York City for ten years as a community social worker providing services to the elderly in a variety of settings. Once she moved back to her hometown of Philadelphia, Justine served on the Board of Directors of CARIE for seven years, a nonprofit organization established in 1977 dedicated to improving the rights, well-being, and self-determination of older adults in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region and beyond.

She is a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), earned a Certificate in Advanced Clinical Dementia Practice from the University of Michigan, and is a certified TimeSlips creative storyteller facilitator. 

In 2025, Justine joined the care managing team at Kith Elder Care, a local organization that provides expert advice on aging. As a care manager, Justine strives to provide the type of care, service, and attention to detail that she would seek for her own family members.

Justine says, “I am honored to be facilitating programs with ARTZ Philadelphia, where I can combine my passions for elderly people, the arts, and building community. I care deeply about the importance of accessibility of art and culture for all people and believe that everybody has the capacity to be creative.”
