“Arts - good tidings continued to build two leroy neiman art studios each year. Art classes are offered three times a week for 90 minutes, and students are welcome to enroll in this course as often as they would like. We continue to purchase all the art supplies annually for the 14 leroy neiman studios we have built. Our visual art studio environment fosters creativity and imagination. Integrating their school curriculum with visual art fundamentals, students experience high-level structured classes while embracing different cultures. These classes enhance critical thinking and develop cognitive, social and personal competencies.”

“Athletics - we build and gift basketball courts and baseball courts. Each location undergoes a drastic makeover, transforming them from unusable to state-of-the-art. These renovations develop the community structurally and enable impressionable children to develop physically, emotionally and psychologically in a safe environment.”

“Wonder program - our wonder program includes rock star trips and our winter wonderland. The rock star road trips program introduces teens to influential professionals and leaders in their respective fields on day-long outings to inspire and encourage them to dream big. The renovated warehouse served as our location for our 10 day winter wonderland in december. Winter wonderland is our toy giveaway program, where we partnered with local businesses, schools, and organizations across the bay area to collect donated toys for the holiday. And, for 10 days, we invited 500 families from homeless shelters, boys & girls clubs, food banks, and more, to attend our winter wonderland and receive toys for the holiday. Our mission of this program was that each child deserved a christmas present, and every parent deserved to give their child a christmas present.”
