With support from the California Arts Council, Give4Kidz will expand capacity to reach more underserved youth and families through free, culturally relevant art workshops, community art events, and art supply distributions across the Inland Empire and downtown Los Angeles. Grant funds will support increased staffing and the development of inclusive programming, including new sensory-friendly workshops like slime sculpting—designed to support neurodiverse children.
Give4Kidz partners with libraries, museums, shelters, and schools to connect with families who might not otherwise access arts education. Workshops are beginner-friendly, process-focused, and available in English and Spanish. Parents are now invited to create alongside their children, fostering deeper connection through shared creative experiences. This funding will allow Give4Kidz to serve more communities, train staff in inclusive facilitation, and continue uplifting the creative voices of all children—especially those experiencing barriers to access.
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.
