BREATHE YOUTH ARTS PROGRAM
Breathe provides year-round arts sessions for grades 5-12 in Madisonville and Bowling Green, KY as well as virtually at no cost. Breathe Youth Arts Program is a community-based, youth program of Light of Chance that is geared toward artistic expression, leadership, and social skills through visual arts, culinary arts, music, dance, and yoga.

Trained Artists
Where else can my children get the opportunity to work with actually trained artists for free in Hopkins County? They have a blast with their friends, and they’re learning at the same time.
Builds Confidence
Breathe has helped me to become more confident because when I first came to Breathe I was having bad anxiety and separation issues. However, it weaned me off of depending on other people and to be able to be away from home for short periods of time.
Friends
Coming to Breathe makes me excited to sing with my friends since we never really get to hang out outside of school.
I'm Not Judged
Breathe has helped me learn to express myself better because it makes me feel like no one cares how I am. I’m not judged.
