Info on Our Non-Profit Partner: Drawchange
Established in 2009, we are a 501c3, Atlanta-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering impoverished children through the use of art therapy-based programming.

Our programs instill coping skills that foster Self-esteem, Imagination, Collaboration, Empowerment, Dream-building, Creation, and Stress-Relief. Our curriculum is crafted by licensed art therapists to instill healing and resilience that children carry into every aspect of their lives. We do this by partnering with homeless shelters and community centers where the children are already residing. Through developing a consistent safe space, we change the trajectory of their emotional health and future success. Our goal is to ensure that every child in our programs develops the emotional resilience necessary to face the challenges of life, the character to excel academically, the skills to collaborate with their peers, and the creativity to dream and reach far beyond their current circumstances.
