Youth Art For Healing partners with art teachers and students from across the Washington DC metro area to facilitate the creation of artworks by student artists for permanent installation in hospitals, children's medical centers, physical therapy and rehabilitation centers, mental health facilities, and other healthcare sites. Bringing healing artworks into healthcare environments - waiting areas, treatment rooms, lobbies, patient rooms, hallways, and other healthcare spaces - supports the physical, mental, and emotional recovery of patients, uplifts loved ones and dedicated healthcare professionals providing care, and all who view the beautiful works of art.

Founded in 2012, Youth Art For Healing has collaborated with art teachers and student artists from the following 53 schools to bring healing works of art into healthcare sites:
