I wanted to share this wonderful story with you. We Heart Arts is a UK based non profit organization that works to raise money for young people's creative arts programs all around the world.
I love this concept!
Take a look at their mission statement:
The goals of We Heart Arts are rooted in the belief that young people should be given the opportunity to express themselves creatively from an early age.
We believe that:
- Creative arts teaches young people the value of lifelong active personal expressionism
- Creative arts teaches young people to question the world they live in
- Creative arts teaches young people that thinking outside of the box is an important mental function in life
- Creative arts teaches young people to engage in a social network of proactive young people invested in a community built on meaningful, sustained ideas and expressionism
- Creative arts opens up a world of opportunities for young people to grow and help others through arts therapy
- Creative arts can open up an avenue of communication for young people with learning difficulties
- Creative arts can help young people process and work through traumatic experiences
- Creative arts can provide peer interaction and a sense of community, independence and feelings of control
WHAT WE WANT TO DO
- We want to raise money for young person’s creative arts through the selling of our t-shirts, prints and charity singles.
- We want to publish books that everyone young and old can enjoy. We also want to give away a copy of our books for free for every ten copies that we sell.
- We want to raise awareness for the need for young person’s creative arts programs and workshops with the help, love and endorsement of our favourite bands
What a great cause! This is definitely an organization that I could get behind!
