The yearly conference allows educators, artists, donors, and local not-for-profits to meet students and members of the community and discuss the state of arts education in the city. This significant initiative provides insight and direction for forming better, more focused programs going forward. Other outreach projects include a program to collect instruments to donate to students who need them, grants for local programs that wish to make use of resources provided by the Santa Barbara Bowl, and scholarships to college students pursuing the performing arts. Moreover, the foundation supports a children’s program within Cottage Hospital and a collection of in-school and after-school programs, particularly in neighborhoods feeling the concert season at the Santa Barbara Bowl, notes Kenny Slaught. The Notes for Notes program is meant to connect students with free instruments and lessons. A community volunteer committee is in charge of these educational outreach projects.

Kenny Slaught Endorses Hospice Program Benefitting Struggling Children
Kenny Slaught endorses the initiatives of Hospice of Santa Barbara, as they build an active support network at local school campuses of all levels, from elementary school to college. Volunteers visit campuses and build weekly support groups for students suffering traumatic or complex scenarios and requiring a safe space with which to discuss their thoughts and feelings. On-campus groups aim to create open atmospheres that encourage openness and boost critical coping skills. Effective coping skills help adolescents avoid drugs, alcohol, and other forms of self-medication. In addition to direct interaction with students, the hospice volunteers offer training for faculty and staff members about how to communicate with students who are dealing with trauma and how to handle their questions about death, most notably violent deaths and suicide. Each of the 65 schools in the Hospice of Santa Barbara network can call on the services throughout the year to respond to a traumatic situation quickly and successfully.

Kenny Slaught Notes Programs Service Struggling Youth
“When children lose a loved one, it can feel like their lives will never be the same again. Their grief may seem insurmountable,” states Kenny Slaught. To combat this impression, the I Have a Friend mentor program pairs children and adolescents in this situation with a trained adult volunteer who experienced a similar loss at a young age. This volunteer serves as a companion throughout the grief process and provides a truly sympathetic point of view. The relationship that is built through this program often becomes indispensable as the child continues to face hurdles for several years.
