Review for Art in Action, Redwood City, CA, USA
California Schools provide a completely barebones curriculum not including art education. When I found that Art in Action provides an excellent and appropriate art education in the classroom I hastened to become involved. Art in Action trains volunteers to use their highly appropriate and professional materials to open the world of possibility through understanding art. These classes are grade level appropriate and are a hands- on experience as well as having an intellectual component. The children are completely engaged and a vitality is obvious in the classrooms. The non-profit Art in Action not only provides this essential experience for children, but it raises the funds necessary to provide this experience. Art in Action currently reaches 27,000 students and is growing each year.

I would like for the Development aspect be made a whole lot easier so that fund raising would not take the time and effort that it does take. I guess that all worthwhile things take effort, though.
