Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Global Art Intensives
Drawchange visits schools around the world to bring week-long art intensives to children ages 5-10. We choose national and international schools based on need, and measure programmatic success through pre-and post-session creativity surveys. Our unique curriculum is designed by licensed Art Therapists to promote collaboration, self-esteem and healing. After the art intensives, we provide art supplies and monthly lesson plans for teachers so participating children can continue with art for the rest of the school year. Our vision is to break generational cycles of poverty by empowering children through easily accessible arts and mental health services.
Homeless Shelter Program
We serve homeless, at-risk, refugee, and asylum-seeking youth in Atlanta, Orlando, Tucson, Puerto Rico, Ethiopia, and Costa Rica. Our weekly art therapy-based programs address the critical emotional and social needs of children experiencing homelessness that are often overlooked in traditional education and welfare programs. Drawchange creates ongoing programs in homeless shelters to conduct breathing exercises, imagination sessions, and art-therapy based projects primarily with children ages 5-10.

DRAWCHANGE INC
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Founder/CEO
Jennie Lobato
It all began with three passions: art, children and helping people. For Jennie, the Founder and CEO of drawchange, the arts helped her make sense of so much as a child. She had no choice but to grant that gift to the impoverished children of the world.
"Art was my outlet as a child. It helped me cope with life. I want to show children that they can also use art as a way to deal with their current circumstances. Art is empowering. It shows you first-hand that you can attain anything you can imagine. It helps you escape to anywhere you want to go. It’s difficult to soar above your current circumstances if you can’t even imagine them!" https://www.drawchange.org/foundersstory
