Mirror Image Arts

We’re incredibly thankful for YOU! Your support makes it possible to disrupt the prison pipeline and empower youth through Restorative Theatre! We’re also grateful for staff like Kiana, our Restorative Theatre Program Coordinator, who brings hope to youth experiencing incarceration. Thanks to her work, 84% of youth report improved self-confidence, and 83% feel a stronger sense of belonging. A partner recently said, “Kiana truly goes above and beyond to show compassion and care for the youth she works with.” This giving season, honor Kiana’s impactful work by making a Colorado Gives Day gift. We’re thankful for you! Donate here - https://lnkd.in/gxyvrGVi
