Arts-Kids is based on the belief that all children will thrive if they have a safe place for self-expression, not always found at home, in school, or elsewhere in the community.

During Arts-Kids sessions, children with diverse backgrounds, special challenges, and differing abilities come together in an atmosphere of trust. Arts-Kids’ trained facilitators are invested in eliminating the barriers of prejudice, fear, and stereotyping and in fostering respect, self-esteem, and understanding through communications skills.

Arts-Kids is making a positive difference.

At the end of every Arts-Kids session, children, teens, parents, teachers, program facilitators and volunteers assess the program and identify areas of improvement. Arts-Kids evaluation methodology has been assessed by an independent group from Westminster College who concluded that Arts-Kids outcomes in Summit County have been consistently high over the past decade and consistently beneficial over the past decade.
