Jennie Lobato: Harnessing Art to Transform Lives

Jennie Lobato, an immigrant from Uruguay, founded Draw Change, a nonprofit organization aimed at empowering children through art. Having experienced the transformative power of art as a child, Lobato established the organization in 2009 to reach children who might not believe in their potential. Through after-school programs and summer camps, Draw Change provides an atmosphere where children in low-income areas can learn, create, and envision a future beyond their circumstances. The organization's impact on children, their families, and the community highlights the lasting change that art can bring, reinforcing Lobato's belief in the power of creativity to break the cycle of poverty.
