Your Gift Uplifts

“My role as an Artist is to bring happiness and music into the world and into my community. I love performing for my community. It makes me feel so happy and proud of what I do.”

Beatrice, East Bay Center Student

Choose Your Way of Giving

No program in youth development and the arts can fulfill its mission without the ongoing assistance of people who know the power of imagination and joy in young people’s lives.  Your gift will provide children, youth and young adults in Richmond and the East Bay with the professional faculty, environment and support services required to advance their health and self-determination in a complex and too often inequitable world.
