Art from Ashes (AfA) believes that creativity is innate and that every young person is a creative genius. In its 19 years, AfA has partnered with 192 youth-serving agencies & schools to provide interactive programs for more than 15,000 youth. Our programs provide a non-judgmental space with caring adults and community artists for youth to share their dreams, hopes, fears and pain through spoken word/poetry and other artistic mediums. Our workshops offer youth connection with their communities, expression, and transformation of their story as they connect to the power of their voice.
