Young At Art of Broward

Log Number: LG-21-03-0141-03

ArtREACH is a project by the Young at Art children's Museum of Broward in collaboration with the School Board of Broward County and two homeless shelters (Providence Place and Angelica House) operated by Catholic Charities in Broward County to provide museum services to children in need. An after-school arts and homework assistance center will be established in Providence Place, for children in both shelters. This program will provide activities at the shelter to support mothers and their children through play and learning. The program encourages life-long learning in the arts by providing free museum memberships to all families that participate. The goal of the project is to assist in building educational skills, self-esteem and self-confidence, and help children and their families learn together and make the museum part of their family life.
