Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To inspire children & youth to discover hope, healing and growth in their lives through creativity, nature and art. We create and provide expressive art coloring books to children and youth in elementary schools, youth centers, hospitals and shelters all over the United States. These books are used by teachers, counselors and leaders for Art Therapy, Social Emotional Wellness, Mentoring and Personal Growth.

  • 1. ART THERAPYOur expressive art coloring activity books are used in schools, hospitals and programs reaching children and youth going through difficult experiences. We donate the books to trained and licensed counselors who are equipped to use the books for these purposes. When our coloring books are used for Art Therapy, they help youth use a creative process to explore their feelings, cope with trauma, foster courage, reduce anxiety and cultivate a peaceful heart. When our books are used as core curriculum in the classroom, they provide a powerful tool for children and youth to become self-aware while at the same time cultivate kindness toward others and grow in their personal lives. In 2022, we provided our books to 225 Childrens Hospitals and 45 Elementary Schools.2. HEALING SPACESWe partner with community organizations reaching children and youth and come alongside them to design and create safe spaces for creativity, connection and confidence-building activities. For example, we transformed a basement space used for storage into a welcoming space for children and youth at The Matthews House in Fort Collins, Colorado. Community leaders use our expressive art resources to help children and youth use a creative process to heal and grow. The books take children and youth on a creative journey that starts on page one and comes full circle on the last page. The beginning of the book presents the idea that their life is like a beautiful tree. As they interact with the reflective questions and express themselves, they will be cultivating the life of their tree. The coloring pages surround the children and youth with the beauty of nature. From this place, they can cultivate learning, discovery and growth from a place of peace, openness and curiosity. As they come to the last page, they will shift from focusing on their own life and begin to realize they have beautiful leaves flowing from their tree that can bring hope, healing and kindness to others. This will empower children and youth to realize they have the ability to make the world a better place, each in their own unique and creative way. In 2022, we reached 10,000+ children and youth through this program.3. MENTORINGWe host leadership training events for teachers and counselors on how to use our expressive art coloring activity books for art therapy and social emotional wellness. This also includes a creative time with children and youth. Our expressive art coloring activity books are used in schools for helping youth manage their emotions and daily challenges, build healthy relationship and set positive goals. The reflective prompts in the coloring books empower students to become self-aware, while at the same time helping them cultivate kindness toward others. As students recognize their strengths and unique gifts, they discover how they can create change in the world and make a difference. In 2022 we hosted 7 leadership training events.
