Get to know us
Maia Whittaker
Hi! I'm Maia, Co-founder and Creative Director of the Youth Art Outreach Foundation. I've always loved art. I see this non-profit as an opportunity to give other kids the outlet I was fortunate enough to have growing up, that allowed me to learn to utilize art as a mean of self expression.
Sophia Taylor
Hi! I'm Sophia, Co-founder and Communications Manager of the Youth Art Outreach. I value art greatly, as I was surrounded by it growing up and was able to express myself creatively. As a kid I took many art classes and loved painting my family and my favorite scenery. Through the YAO, I want to give little kids the opportunity to do the same.
Kit Pujol Fong
I’m Kit Pujol Fong, YAO board member and Activities Manager Art allows us to reach out and touch the hearts of people across borders, languages, and even time itself. I believe that art is one of the most important ways we can express ourselves, and I want to provide the opportunity for the artists of tomorrow to develop their skills and succeed in the art world.
Isla Hanleybrown
I am Isla, Logistics Manager and VP of Youth Art Outreach! Art has shaped me as a person from being an outlet to express my creativity to helping me become a young entrepreneur by selling paintings to my neighborhood. I aim to help give the youth in our community these same opportunities and be able to have the tools to express themselves.
Diana Goloshubina
I’m Diana, Media Manager and VP of Youth Art Outreach. I’ve been painting and drawing since I was young, even being featured in shows and selling art. My mom has helped me throughout my journey and I want to help kids thrive in the same way.
