drawchange
Private
drawchange is an Atlanta 501(c)(3) nonprofit running summer and school-holiday art camps for children ages 5-9, built around art-therapy-informed projects with stated aims of imagination, collaboration, self-esteem and stress relief. Camp includes snack and lunch and is staffed by background-checked teachers. The organization runs art programs in homeless shelters and brings children from Atlanta shelter programs to camp on scholarship; limited full scholarships, funded by a City of Atlanta Youth Development grant, are open to children who are unhoused or attend an Atlanta public school with free or reduced lunch.

★★★★★Julia DI recently started as an intern with drawchange, and although I haven't been here long, I can already tell you what an amazing impact drawchange has had on the children that participate in the program! The activities each week are all well thought out and tailored to the children and what they are going through in their daily lives. Activities also allow the children to think of the big picture and what their hopes and dreams for their future can be. Being an intern I also see how dedicated the whole team of drawchange is in making sure that the children are getting the best experience possible. It is an amazing organization and I wish them every bit of success!
