Project Description

With support from the California Art Council, GIVE 4 KIDZ will provide art workshops, art supplies, and art events for children in under-served communities that fall within the lowest quartile of the California Healthy Places Index(HPI) in the Southern California region. This grant money would enable GIVE 4 KIDZ to continue its vital mission of using art as a powerful tool for healing, self-expression, and empowerment among vulnerable children. By offering these programs and services, GIVE 4 KIDZ not only fosters creativity and artistic skills but also promotes emotional well-being and a sense of belonging. Art has the ability to transform lives, and with this grant, GIVE 4 KIDZ can make a lasting impact on the lives of children who are often overlooked or underserved.

Organization Summary

Give 4 Kidz is dedicated to empowering young creatives through two main programs: ‘Art & Me’ and ‘Story Corner’. The ‘Art & Me’ program aims to nurture and support youth by offering them free art materials, workshops, events, and exhibitions. We are proud to collaborate with local artists and organizations that share our vision.

The second program, ‘Story Corner’, caters to young individuals with a passion for creative writing. We provide a supportive environment where they can explore their creativity, acquire new skills, and connect with like-minded peers. Through this program, we offer access to writing supplies, events, and workshops led by experienced writers. Our aim is to inspire and foster a love for writing among youth. In this endeavor, we are delighted to partner with local bookstores, authors, and libraries.

At Give 4 Kidz, our mission extends beyond traditional boundaries. We strive to reach all children who possess a love for the arts, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. To achieve this, we extend our services to family homeless shelters and underserved communities in California. Additionally, we have created remote participation opportunities to ensure inclusivity for all kids. Our goal is to overcome socio-economic challenges and provide equal access to our programs.

By embracing diversity and focusing on the potential within each child, Give 4 Kidz is committed to nurturing the creative spirit and enabling young individuals to thrive in the arts.
