Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First (TOHYF) is a 501(c)3 community-based
organization whose mission is to prevent and intervene in youth violence by
involving underserved, low-income youth and their families in extended, high
quality, standards-based, multidisciplinary fine arts educational workshops.
TOHYF works with at-risk youth ages 4-18 at schools, probation facilities, and
community-based sites in Los Angeles County and Orange County. Since 1992, our Youth
First Artist-In-Residence Program has successfully provided over 98,800 at-risk
youth with a safe and positive environment that allows them the freedom of
self-expression. By conducting arts workshops through TOHYF, professional
artists will help underserved youth learn important skills that extend beyond
the arts, including self-esteem, confidence, and critical thinking skills. Please see our website to learn more about our
organization: www.theatreofhearts.org. TOHYF is an equal opportunity
