* How will the Donations/Sponsorship be used? (The donation must primarily serve a public purpose, as opposed to solely benefiting an individual or private organization.)
We are presenting an immersive summer art experience for the 2nd time. The 3-week camp will include workshops on creative writing, film-making, and photography with artist-mentors ready to serve Pomona's youth with skills, knowledge, encouragement, and hope. We have two field trips and a 4-day Youth Artist Retreat at Big Bear Lake.
The cost per youth is $700 which is all-inclusive (food, art supplies, and transportation). A donation of $6,000 will cover the lodging for the artist retreat. * What is the benefit to the City of Pomona? (An expenditure of public funds must be for primary benefit of the public agency that is making the expenditure)
Art therapy for youth enhances emotional expression, reduces stress, and boosts self-esteem. It provides a safe space to process trauma, fostering resilience. Socially, it improves communication and interpersonal skills, promoting cooperation and empathy. Exit surveys from last year's art camp indicated that the youth experienced increased self-confidence, improved communication with peers, and reduced feelings of loneliness and depression.
