IN HOME LESSONS
In Home Lessons are the core of CoachArt’s Service model. Talented volunteer coaches provide high-quality in-home instruction to chronically ill children and their siblings over the course of 8 weeks. At the end of the 8 week session, CoachArt students can renew their activity or sign up for something new. All lessons and materials are provided at no cost to volunteers or families.
SCHOLARSHIPS
CoachArt’s Program Partner Scholarships offer free multi-week lessons at local martial arts, music, yoga, dance studios and more. Program Partner Scholarships provide an opportunity for children to join the fun at safe, supportive, and CoachArt-approved partner sites.
COACHART CLUBS
Join a CoachArt Club and be part of a special team focused on providing chronically ill children with enriching athletic experiences in a supportive team environment. CoachArt Clubs create unique multi-week experiences where children form a bond with fellow participants while gaining valuable skills in the activity of their choice.
GROUP LESSONS
CoachArt’s One Day Group Lessons provide short- term instructive settings for a group of children to learn a new skill in a supportive social environment.
SPECIAL EVENTS
With the help of many supportive partners, CoachArt is able to offer tickets to special events like LA Dodgers baseball games, Cirque du Soleil, local museums, and more!
