Community Serving
Expressive Arts Institute
The Expressive Arts Institute’s mission is to provide an educational experience of unparalleled quality to each student. Our programs provide the thorough academic grounding needed for professional success, with an emphasis on experiential learning and exploration through studio work, classes and workshops. Through shared art-making, students and faculty form a learning community deeply rooted in the body, senses and imagination. Students become disciplined in phenomenology: the practice of paying attention to what is present and authentic. The Institute provides a safe, challenging and nurturing atmosphere for personal and professional growth.

Students attend classes with the resident arts and culture groups at NTC Promenade, the new Civic, Arts and Culture District in Liberty Station at the former Naval Training Center in Point Loma.

New Americans Immigration Museum and Learning Center
NAMILC’s mission is to be a catalyst to celebrate America's past and promise. The Museum provides inspiring and compelling educational and cultural programs and activities of our diverse immigrant experiences. As they connect with their own culture through dialogue and interactive education, youth of all ages and all races will learn compassion, understanding and respect for one another’s differences. Migrants and their children are important decision-makers now and in the future.
What we do now to educate and to impart to all children the values upon which our nation was founded--values that inspire people to seek truth and freedom--will lead them to cherish their new homeland and to protect its people and the environment.
San Diego Coastkeeper

The Jenna Druck Foundation
The Foundation has developed two programs, Young Women’s Leadership and Families Helping Families. These programs were established to serve two different groups, but they both bring hope and inspiration to those whose lives they touch.
Young Women’s Leadership was established to honor Jenna’s accomplishments as a leader by providing leadership training and opportunities to upcoming young women.
Families Helping Families was created to serve people in their journey through grief. Families Helping Families is unique in its approach, focusing on a recognition and respect for the belief that grief is individual, and there is no correct answer or ready solution for overcoming grief.
The programs of The Jenna Druck Foundation have touched and inspired thousands – either providing encouragement and support to families in their darkest and most difficult hours, or encouraging young women to fulfill their dreams.
