We inspire refugee and DISPLACED youth to find their voices and tell stories about themselves and their communities
Cartwheel Initiative's volunteer artists provide free educational workshops to young people who are displaced from their families and homes due to violence, conflict or natural disaster. Using photography and multimedia tools, our goal is to inspire these youth to find their voice through art and creative thinking, and help the communities around them understand and improve their lives.
