Youth Art Haven Website
Youth Art Haven's purpose is to respond to the youth in Brazil who face the risk of or have been victimized by exploitation. Youth Art Haven's eco-cultural center will integrate the arts, art-therapy and permaculture in a multi-faceted, culturally relevant response to commercial and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in Northeast Brazil. Unifying the arts, therapy and ecology is a unique, innovative approach to effectively attend to this underserved population, providing prevention and victim support services. YAH will establish a safe, ecologically responsible space for rescued exploited youth to reside and receive psychological support and for at risk youth to benefit from job and life skills training. Comprehensive programming will address the emotional, educational and professional needs for successful integration into Brazilian and global society for local youth, and attend to the psychological and social needs of victims of sexual exploitation.
We are a start-up organization and need help updating and re-thinking our website. Related Link
