SEEKING COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS |
|
CSArts-SGV is grateful to have the continued support of the Maxwell H. Gluck Foundation through the Gluck Community Service Arts Fellowship Program. Over the past three years, this funding has provided our students with the opportunity to go out into the community to bring free arts activities to those who have little to no access. This important outreach program has enabled the school and our students to become more active and engaged members of the San Gabriel Valley community. In turn, our fellow community members, especially those from economically challenging circumstances, have been exposed to and inspired by the arts.
As we begin another year of this influential program, we need your help identifying community organizations that serve children, seniors, or other groups who could benefit from free arts enrichment programs brought to them by CSArts-SGV students and teachers. All referrals within the San Gabriel Valley are welcome and appreciated. Please send your recommendations and contacts to our Outreach Coordinator, Simon Harrison, at simon.harrison@sgv.csarts.net.
