Programs
Loop It Up Savannah is a youth arts and enrichment non-profit, providing school day, after school, and summer program workshops for over 10,000 young people each year. Programming includes visual and performing arts, early literacy programming, school garden projects, yoga and mindfulness-based practice, and creative entrepreneurship throughout Savannah. We aim to foster strong relationships, greater academic success, the sense of ownership and pleasure in learning, and greater emotional stability allowing us to work together to build a sustainable and interconnected community where every day needs are met with creativity and confidence. We provide a safe and supportive environment within which children can experiment with new ideas, new materials, and new challenges to their imaginations.
