Kids M-Power
Marketing. Mentoring. Meaningful Action.
Kids M-Power is a program designed to empower elementary age through high school age kids to collaborate with
local artists and use their talents to create art, market the art, and donate the funds to kids’ causes that inspire them. Teens and young adults can get volunteer time and obtain community service hours for their efforts. We are currently forming new teams that can meet consistently to choose their own art projects, marketing venues, and kids’ causes.
Kids M-Power Artist workshops are held every third Saturday from 2:00 to 5:00 pm
at the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach, 533 Lomas Santa Fe Dr. 92075
Workshop fees are $5 per participant to cover material costs.
Every third Saturday of each month Call to 760.436.1514 to register.
Past featured artists include Muralist/Painter, Kevin Anderson, who created a collaborative acrylic on canvas, landscape painting.
Spramani E’Luan from Nature of Art co-created several paint projects, and Peg Windisch, jewelry designer, co-created numerous jewelry pieces.
Other projects included mixed media greeting cards, and other medium paintings. The artwork will be marketed at upcoming local events.
The teams have currently chosen the current causes: North County Solutions for Change and Mary’s Meals.

Center for a Healthy Lifestyle is a newly remodeled cottage at 533 Lomas Santa Fe Dr. The cottage is a rental facility used to host programs for adults and children- programs with a healthy theme. Says Rachel Rays’ YUM-O website: “Since opening in April 2009, The Boys & Girls Clubs Center for a Healthy Lifestyle has become a community hub for learning about food, fitness, nutrition, (and art). The Center features a quarter-acre organic garden for which educates families about growing their own vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers, as well as a state-of-the-art kitchen with all cooking amenities where children cook healthy meals after learning about the fruits and vegetables in the garden. The Center offers a variety of programs, including cooking classes for kids, where they cook healthy snacks and meals to sample as a class and then take home more to share with friends and family members!
