Anuwai Life Community Outreach Programs
Living and Healing Through Art
Our community outreach programs focus on fostering the integration of art, inclusiveness, health and wellness. Research has shown that collaboration with various forms of art projects have a medicinal effect on those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or social isolation. Our community outreach programs are offered by matching artists in areas of need based on their artistic expertise. Volunteers work with us to develop Anuwai Life, Inc. programs within their field, or volunteer within existing partnership programs. Volunteer artists who give their time to Anuwai Life, Inc. civic engagement programs are eligible for artists support services.
