With support from the California Arts Council, Michael’s Daughter Foundation will offer the “Dream Forward Arts in Residency”, an arts education program that teaches filmmaking to underserved youth ages 12–24 in Title 1 schools and juvenile detention facilities across LA County. The program includes in-school learning, arts education for justice-impacted youth, creative youth development, and arts exposure through field trips, guest speakers, and interactive activities.
The Michael’s Daughter Foundation offers a diverse range of arts programs, including filmmaking, animation, puppetry, creative writing, original play creation, performance art, monologue development, short films, documentaries, and music. We also provide financial literacy workshops for all ages in partnership with local banks. These programs are held year-round across various communities in Los Angeles. Additionally, we are committed to offering college scholarships to students impacted by incarceration or with an incarcerated loved one, as well as providing emergency support to families affected by incarceration.
