For 25 years, Art for Growth has empowered under-resourced youth through the arts. Today, we partner with other nonprofits and community leaders to meet an urgent challenge: the mental health crisis overwhelming younger generations. Through the Create Your World (CYW) Institute, we turn creative expression into tools for healing, resilience, and hope.
Pitch Deck
Current Institute Initiatives
Beyond the immersive and impactful, Fresh View Labs, CYW participants can register as Institute Alumni to access a comprehensive network of wraparound services and mentors—providing ongoing support for employment, housing, and personal well-being.
Agencies or organizations that partner with CYW open innovative and creative doors for their clients or participants. Those doors lead to unforgettable self-discovery and forward-looking experiences; a motivational journey toward purposeful living for young people transitioning out of the Foster Care and Juvenile Justice systems, and youth and adults transitioning from substance use recovery programs.
As an Institute Funder or Supporter, you make it possible for many to transition into a new phase of life with fresh and indelible perspectives. Instead of moving forward alone, you enable participants to head into a future backed by a solid, dedicated support system.
