Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, GIVE4KIDZ will use the grant funds to host Creative Youth Art Project, which will provide school-aged children no-cost art workshops, materials, and community art exhibitions celebrating the young artists. These initiatives will focus on children living in the lowest quartile of the Healthy Place Index in southern California. The program aims to foster creativity, enhance artistic skills, and promote cultural engagement among underserved communities. By offering a platform for artistic expression, GIVE4KIDZ will help participants build confidence, develop critical thinking abilities, and gain exposure to various art forms. The grant will cover costs related to materials, venue rentals, artist stipends, and promotional activities to ensure accessibility and participation. This project seeks to create an inclusive environment where every child has the opportunity to explore and appreciate the arts.

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.
