    Description

    Los Angeles Volunteers: Can you teach a hobby to a child battling a serious illness?

    CoachArt is a non-profit organization offering free lessons in the arts and athletics to children impacted by chronic illness, ages 5-18. Our vision is that one day every family impacted by chronic illness will be connected to a community of support and an opportunity to learn and grow together.

    We partner with talented volunteers and arts/athletics programs to offer lessons in Guitar, Ceramics/Sculpture, Arts and Crafts, Knitting/Sewing/Fashion, Painting, Drawing, Baking and Cooking!

    Our CoachArt team matches each individual child with our volunteers and program partners, who provide 4 week lessons in a shared activity of choice.
