Coming Up Taller
Edited by Elizabeth Murfee
Arts and Humanities Programs for Children and Youth at Risk President's Committee on the Arts and the HumanitiesThis report "documents arts and humanities programs in communities across America that offer opportunities for children and youth to learn new skills, expand their horizons, and develop a sense of self, well-being, and belonging." The President's Committee produced this report to identify arts programs that reach at-risk children and youth and to examine the principles and practices that make them effective.

The book includes over two hundred profiles of successful arts and humanities programs and the remarkable impact they have on the lives of young people. It is a wonderful resource for organizations that may wish to begin their own programs or add new dimensions to their work.
The book is available from the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 520 Washington D.C. 20506 202-682-5409 Email: pcah@neh.gov
