City Hearts: Kids Say Yes to the Arts

A non-profit organization which has offered free visual and performing arts classes to children in Los Angeles for 27 years and counting.

City Hearts has come to be an integral part of the preventive and rehabilitative effort across Los Angeles County and beyond, and serves as a model for youth diversion programs across the country.
