With your help, we are doing some good work in our community. A portion of your tuition goes to fund need-based art scholarships at Firstlight, and also to support these amazing programs.<\/p>\n

We provide art classes for children\u00a0separated from their family.<\/h2>\n

Children fleeing dangerous countries end up in short-term foster care right here in Nashville. We have a program to teach these kids for the brief time they’re here, with a class at their special school in Nashville, once a week. They love hearing instruction in their own language, and getting to express themselves freely. We are very thankful to be able to provide this for them.<\/p>\n

Touchstone Youth Resource Services<\/h2>\n

We’ve supported this non-profit for many years. They have made a huge difference in so many young people’s lives, mainly through their CiViL groups. These small, life-changing discussion groups are conducted at the schools and neighborhoods where disadvantaged young people are living.<\/p>\n
