The Problem

Our goal is to use each person’s creativity as the catalyst for healing their soul. www.thetwentyfour.org

Plan of Action

In our program we take volunteer mentors into facilities like at-risk youth facilities, group homes, battered women’s shelters etc. and help people express themselves through various forms of art. We teach a new art form, or help them develop an existing talent, and encouraging them to use that art to tell their story. We will foster an environment that creates a community amongst the participants, so that once the program concludes,they will have a partner with which to continue the process.

Project Updates

The 24 Foundation has recently been entrusted to mentor 160 kids at a youth challenge academy, the most we have served to date in a single session!

We are celebrating our one year anniversary of serving Los Angeles and promoting healing self-express through art on Saturday October 23, 2010 at a Fundraiser Rock Concert at Senor Fish (downtown LA), 9PM. Each person's attendance goes toward sponsoring a kid to be mentored through our program. http://ow.ly/2Ulhm
