| Primary Exempt Purpose | The Mission of Creatives for Causes is to use the power of one-on-one creative mentoring to help low-income children develop exciting new visions of themselves, discover their creative gifts, boost their self-esteem and increase their motivation to learn. The children are paired, one-on-one, with creative mentors in a program called Art Buddies.Art Buddies annually pairs one-on-one 160 creative mentors, including many creative professionals, like art directors, graphic designers, illustrators, architects, photographers, writers, with 160 inner-city kids. Each program features workshops from 7-10 weeks and each workshop has a different theme. For example, the "Career Dreams" theme helps kids explore who they want to be when they grow up, then create exciting and unique images of themselves as successful adults. The "Kids Rule!" theme helps kids imagine they rule the world, then create a fanciful costume showing how they would use their power to help people. Mentors also help the kids de | PrimaryExemptPurpose |

| Description Program Service Accom | In fiscal year 2012-13, we served 160 children, ages 8-11, from low-income families in south Minneapolis. All the kids were eligible for free or reduced-cost meals, and 95% were children of color. They were an ethnically-diverse group which included African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Somalis. We recruited 160 creative mentors to work one-on-one with the children. We produced four After-School Art Buddies programs, two in the fall and two in the spring.Our mentors helped the children do the following:1. Form a positive relationship with a creative adult2. Discover their creative potential3. Boost self-esteem by creating something ambitious and unique4. Increase their motivation to learn5. Learn the process of conceiving, planning and producing6. Explore future career possibilitiesThe children's teachers and principal confirmed the positive impact of the Art Buddies program. The teachers observed student improvement in problem-solving ability, behavior, attitude, motivation to learn, school attendance and social skills. They noted that the mastery students developed in Art Buddies, as well as the positive relationships they formed with creative adults, enhanced their students' self-esteem. | DescriptionProgramServiceAccom |
