Creative Kids
Creative Kids is a nationally recognized creative youth development organization dedicated to empowering under-resourced youth and pediatric oncology patients in the border community of El Paso, Texas and Southern New Mexico. Through the transformative power of the arts, we help young people thrive—creatively, emotionally, and academically—while fostering resilience, self-expression, and a sense of belonging.

Causes: Arts and Culture, Children and Youth, Health and Mental Well-being

For 25 years, Creative Kids Inc. has been using the power of art to change lives. As a nationally recognized non-profit, we reach more than 1,200 young people each year, many of whom face incredible challenges.

Through programs like: 🎨 Project ABLE for under-resourced youth in rural El Paso and Southern New Mexico 🎨 Project TAP for incarcerated youth and youth on probation 🎨 Project AIM for children battling cancer at Providence Children’s Hospital 🎨 Project RAP for families impacted by the August 3rd tragedy

We give children more than art supplies. We give them healing, hope and a future to believe in.

Most of the children we serve come from modest backgrounds, broken homes, or limited educational opportunities. Yet when they walk into Creative Kids, they find a safe place to discover their voice, build confidence, and dream big.

Your support makes this possible. Every piece of artwork has story and every smile on a child’s face is a direct result of your generosity.

We’re deeply thankful to our matching sponsors: The Andrea Dorsey Kirs Legacy Fund, Melinda and Meyer Marcus Fund, and the Pecos West – A Grid United Project Fund for their generous support totaling $17,500 this year.
