Episode 12: How Can Art Be Used to Help Others?

Kids are Philanthropists, Too!

Summary: We continue our 2nd season of Kids are Philanthropists, Too!, with an episode on the power of art to help others. This story was created previously in partnership with Youth Art For Healing, an organization that just announced that they will be closing their doors but living on with their impact through the Matt Papirmeister Award scholarship for high school seniors.

This story links to our previous episodes on grief in that art is a powerful healing force and that the scholarship fund is dedicated to the late son of their Executive Director Jan Papirmeister. "This award is designed not only to commemorate Matt’s kind spirit and zest for life, but also to support and honor student artists who, with their creativity, empathy, and commitment, give to others." For more information, please visit www.youthartforhealing.org/award.

Our special guests are middle and high school artists involved with Youth Art For Healing.

Our hosts: Season 2 is hosted by Amy Neugebauer, Executive Director of The Giving Square. along with 12-13 year old returning hosts (Jayden, Alona, Leo, Ismahil, Ibrahim, Sam) and our new 9-11 year hosts (Rita, Aoife, and Jo).

The series: "Kids are Philanthropists, Too!" demonstrates that we can all come together and talk about personal, complicated things, no matter our age. Like the podcast? Spread the word! Get involved, follow and support The Giving Square.
