iHuman’s first
album amplifies
youth voices
NURTURING THE CREATIVITY and
artistic expression of young people can
unlock healing and future opportunities.
iHuman has been serving at-risk
youth in Edmonton’s core since 1997.
The organization provides wraparound
services from hot meals to a career hub
to onsite health-care services — but
what has always set iHuman apart is
their arts programming, with studios
that include space for visual arts,
fashion design, theatre performance
and a fully-equipped music studio.
The arts spaces at iHuman encourage
at-risk youth to explore their creativity,
work through their trauma and pain,
and develop as artists — fostering their
talent as well as their healing.
Music has long been a part of
iHuman’s programming, but this is the
first time they’ve released a complete
album. Thanks to a partnership with
the Edmonton Arts Council (EAC), the
album, Pointz of View, has received grant
funding for development, production and
release — as well as mentorship for the
young musicians.
