Kulture Klub Collaborative

Kulture Klub Collaborative provides safe, consistent space for youth ages 16-24 experiencing homelessness to freely enjoy access to the arts. 

Founded in 1992, Kulture Klub Collaborative has always focused on art as a way for youth experiencing homelessness to express themselves creatively, allowing them to pursue more than just basic survival needs. Here at KKC we expose, educate, and empower through quality multidisciplinary art experiences using art and creativity as a positive, healing force in their lives for personal growth, social justice, actionable compassion, and community improvement.

One of our driving goals is to reduce racial disparities for BIPOC youth. With 95% of KKC participants identifying as BIPOC, and over 35% identifying as LGBTQIA2S+, we aim to provide equitable access to the arts and artistic practices, addressing the historical marginalization and underservice experienced by these communities. To achieve this, KKC offers our programs at no cost, and provides resources such as food, project stipends, internships, childcare subsidies, and transportation assistance. We also partner with organizations like YouthLink, who we share a building with, to provide a direct and open door to life-changing services. 

At Kulture Klub Collaborative, we meet each youth where they are at, encouraging their curiosity and talents, building their confidence, engagement, and abilities into skills and tools that translate into housing stability and future success. We are fierce advocates for our youth and their work, and believe they have the power to change the world!
