Signature Programs

Visual Arts

Through drawing, painting, photography, and more, we teach students to use visual art as a lens into their own lives and a tool to affect positive change.

Literary Arts

Through our partnerships with 826 Valencia, Youth Speaks, Mutiny Radio, and more, we help youth cultivate creative writing skills and self-expression.

Music

Through our partnership with Notes for Notes, Club members have access to two high-quality music studios where they can work with professional music instructors to learn a new instrument and write and record music.

Performing Arts

We offer year-round classes in acting, musical theater, dance and performance for youth of all ages.
Please contact yourlocal Clubhouse for more information about creative arts programming.

Community Partners

A key part of our Citywide Creative Arts Program is our partnerships, which not only enhance members’ experience at the Club, but also expose them to potential career and college opportunities.

Meet Our Youth

"The community, especially youth, have a voice. They want to be able to express themselves and it's important for everyone to be able to help them in their journey of becoming who they want to be."

"Photography made me open to who I am today. It’s a way that I express my emotions, my ideas, and what I think of myself."
