The CityKids Foundation launched its home-base, the East Village Playhouse, in 2017. This is where we continue our in-person, grassroots work with the youth. It is their home for Artivism; workshops; CityKids TED talk training; anti-bullying panels and presentations; music healing percussion and drum circle events; youth suicide prevention workshops; and open mics all aiming at one thing: Self-Empowerment through Creativity in Expression.
