LILI BERNARD Multimedia Fine Artist Celebrating Father God, Mother Nature and the Human Race BACK HOME PHOTO ALBUMS CONTACT YOUTH MENTORING I have enjoyed mentoring youth my whole adult and teenage life. In February 2007 I founded a youth arts mentoring program entitled HABLA: Harvesting Asian, Black, Latino Artists. In 2009, I formed an adult artist collaborative within HABLA and it became HABLA Underground . In 2001, I founded and chartered the nonprofit, all volunteer-run organization, City of Angels Little League (CALL) which serves youth in central Los Angeles. (My husband, Franklin Ferguson has run the league since). I'm also a board member in the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) of my childrens' school in Los Angeles. In 1991-1993, In Harlem New York, I ran a youth mentoring program at St. Aloysius School which brought in weekly guest speakers to disadvantaged youth. As a young adult and teenager, I coached gymnastics, taught English, and served as a camp counselor to youth in both Japan and the US. Below are some pictures of my work in youth mentoring.
