Free Arts for Abused Children is a nonprofit organization that integrates the healing and therapeutic power of the arts into the lives of children and youth who have been abused, are homeless or at-risk of falling through the cracks of the system, as well as their fmailies in need.
Free Arts for Abused Children recruits, screens, trains, places, and supports community volunteers to work directly with children and families living in crisis. Dance, drama, writing, music, and painting are just some of the avenues of creativity Free Arts volunteers use to encourage children and youth to channel their emotions, release their anger and develop positive methods of communication.
