Mission Statement
Free Arts NYC provides under-served children and families with a unique combination of educational arts and mentoring programs that help them to foster the self-confidence and resiliency needed to realize their fullest potential.
Description
Free Arts volunteers are community members, students, professionals, retirees, artists, educators and activists from diverse backgrounds. Our volunteers help us reach over 2,000 underserved kids each year through Saturday arts festivals and weekly arts-based mentoring groups for youth ages 6-12, and an 8-week collaborative art experience for families. Programs take place in shelters, group homes, public and charter schools and other agencies throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. We have a variety of ways for volunteers to get involved, from single day commitments to regular, weekly mentoring opportunities.

I've been with FreeArts for five years and as the organization says, "Art Heals." The 6 and 7 year olds I've mentored have grown and learned to express themselves through art projects and exposure to different tools and mediums. The look on a young person's face when they see that red and blue paint can make purple is priceless. And there is nothing like seeing the pride in a child's eyes when she proudly says, "Look what I made!" FreeArts is made up of caring people; they are organized and dedicated. I can't recommend this volunteer opportunity enough.
