Volunteer at our Costa Rica program if you're already on planning on being in the country! Here's information about our program: http://drawchange.org/artbeyondborderscostaricatrip/
We will spend some time at the school, some time at a local orphanage, and some time working with the community in their neighborhood.
Please email trips@drawchange.org if you are interested! You can run your own art classroom or volunteer helping an existing classroom. You can play with the children during recess and get to know the impoverished community our children come from, visit their homes.
This is an amazing opportunity!

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.
