Founder and President
Nicole Lee
My name is Nicole Lee, and I’m a junior at Geffen Academy at UCLA. The arts have always played a huge part in my life. From piano, to ceramics, to ballet, the arts have shaped me into the person I am today. Through a recent summer program, I discovered how much I love working with kids. It also became clear to me that many underprivileged children don’t have the opportunity to experience performing arts. My goal is to give every child the chance to explore music, dance, and art. I want to let them try it, see if they enjoy it, and most importantly-- have fun exploring it.
Vice President

From a young age, I've been actively involved in community service, volunteer work, and programs that support others.
