Since 1989, DrawBridge has brought free expressive arts to children across the Bay Area and has served over 35,000 children and youth.
Our Story
Our Mission
DrawBridge offers free expressive arts programs that provide children and youth in under-resourced communities—many facing housing instability—with safe spaces to explore, express creativity, and build agency and resilience.
Our Vision
A world where every child—regardless of circumstance—has consistent access to spaces where their creative expression is honored, their voices matter, and their inherent strengths are recognized through the arts.
Our Values
Our Team
We are powered by a dedicated team of staff facilitators, community artists, and partners who believe every young person deserves a consistent safe space to create, be seen, and feel supported. Together with families, partner sites, and local artists, we deliver expressive arts programs that honor every child and youth voice.
