Please join us to celebrate the opening of Children’s Institute’s new Watts Campus, lovingly designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry and Gehry Partners. This permanent commitment to Watts will be home to programming that enriches and empowers the children and families of our community.

We are deeply grateful to CII’s Board of Trustees, private individuals, foundations, and our beloved CII support groups who made this possible by contributing to the Building on Success capital campaign.
