Dedicate a couple of hours on Thursday afternoons to help children express themselves through the use of art!

* Exact address given after commitment but this is in an afterschool program in a school.

We are looking for volunteers to commit to showing up from 4:30-6:15pm. We facilitate an Art Therapy-based curriculum and use art to facilitate emotional expression and healing. We focus on empowerment-using only nice words and collaboration. It's so much fun and full of positivity! We bring all the supplies, you come to hang out and guide them through the activity!

You do not need to be an artist to volunteer, but simply have a love for children :)

Please navigate to the CONTRIBUTE page of www.drawchange.org to fill out a volunteer application. This is your first step in volunteering with us.

Thank you for your interest!

About drawchange

Location:

PO Box 55627, Atlanta, GA 30306, US

Mission Statement

Drawchange is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering children from lower socioeconomic situations through the use of art therapy-based programming. Our programs teach coping skills that foster Collaboration, Creation, Dream-building, Empowerment, Imagination, Self-Esteem, and Stress-Relief.

Description

Our vision is to provide the tools neccesary so each child has the ability to fully express themselves.

Art is a vehicle to reach out to students. Engaging them with art enriches their study with all other curriculum subjects. Our strategy is aimed to spark the energy of world peace by igniting the passion of learning in the world’s children.

In using the research based principles of integrating the arts in the general curriculum, we hope to increase self-esteem and thinking skills in children to help them become better world citizens. Wherever there is a need, drawchange wants to be there providing art supplies.
