SAFEhouse Youth Progamming

SAFEhouse Arts Youth Programming offers scholarship based dance education for PK-5 students and works in partnership with community organizations to serve Tenderloin youth. Youth programming at SAFEhouse Arts began as a virtual collaboration between Kitty Conlon Macías and En Avant School in Guayaquil, Ecuador to provide an international creative movement class during the summer of 2020. In 2022, SAFEhouse received support from the California Arts Council Local Impact Grant and reached approximately 20 families through our community partnership with Tenderloin Achievement Group and in-house Bilingual Ballet.
