What We Do: Founded in 1996, Inside Out Community Arts utilizes the arts to promote healthy interaction among diverse at-risk and underserved Los Angeles middle-school youth. Through community events and after-school workshops led by specially trained teams of professional artists and high-school-age mentors, Inside Out bridges cultural, geographic, socioeconomic and differently-abled boundaries to support youth in creating and presenting topical theater and art, empowering them to make positive choices as individuals and members of the greater community.
