WHO WE ARE
ABOUT US
GloryArts exists to save foster youth through arts, spiritual and life skills training to end the cycle of aged-out homelessness
We are the voice and support for the 400,000+ foster youth in need. Foster youth are more likely than the general population to fall into adverse circumstances; 50% of foster youth become incarcerated or homeless. Through GloryArts we are able to intervene and rescue foster youth to give them hope and a future.
With the assistance of vital partnerships we offer foster youth opportunities to evade impediments and become creative, spiritual, educated and self-sufficient adults in their communities.
