    LitiArts provides literacy, arts education, and higher education mentorship to youth of color to sustain their identities, support their well-being, and enhance equity in their educational journeys. We support first-generation, college students of color prepare for and transition to college, throughout college, in the workplace, and beyond. We provide literacy & arts-based workshops to schools and communities to support students’ identities, build their confidence, and sustain their overall well-being. We also offer higher education mentorship to students before and during college.

    About Us

    Founded in 2022, LitiArts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing educational equity for youth of color through literacy, arts education, and mentorship, prioritizing their identities and well-being. We bridge schools and society, offering programs to increase educational, career, and economic opportunities for youth of color.

We serve youth of color through three core programs:

    1. Virtual College & Career Preparation Fellowship Program
