We provide children with the opportunity to develop life skills by participating in high-quality arts programming that they wouldn’t be able to access otherwise. For these children to participate at no cost, funds are raised through grants, donors, sponsors and events. Children who develop communication, personal management and teamwork skills into natural behaviours at a young age are able to use these life skills to create a better future for themselves. Since 2005, more than 25,000 children have participated in an artsREACH workshop delivered at their public elementary school or community centre. The workshops are taught by professional artists, actors, dancers and filmmakers.
