FREE ARTS FOR ABUSED CHILDREN OF ARIZONA Free Arts transforms children’s trauma into resilience through the arts. Volunteer mentors and artists create a safe environment where children can express themselves, acquire skills, develop self-efficacy and build hope. “Free Arts helped me get some important things off my chest. I felt welcome, comforted in expressing myself.” — Anna, program participant When you donate to Free Arts, you contribute to our annual efforts to serve 8,000 Arizona children residing in foster care and homeless shelters. Trauma, including abuse and homelessness, can cause major changes to the brains and bodies of developing children. By participating in activities that combine the arts and mentoring, these children build resilience to help overcome their past trauma and move into a positive future.
