Thriving Through the Arts
Arts In Reach inspires teenage girls and gender-expansive youth to be brave, elevate their voices, and create the lives they imagine.






AIR is Accepting and Open
AIR is a youth-centered organization that believes in inclusivity and accessibility. Girls and gender-expansive youth ages 11-22 engage in community arts programs with professional artists. Together, mentors and teens co-create intentional spaces to take safe risks and express themselves through the arts.

AIR Creates Opportunities
We believe all teens should have opportunities to thrive and become self-reliant adults. Our programs are open-enrollment, free of charge, and include transportation assistance. They draw on various arts for teens to grow and lead.
