Who We Are

Inside Out was founded in 1996 as the brainchild of Camille Ameen and Jonathan Zeichner. Their goal was to bring much-needed after-school arts programs to at-risk and underserved middle-school youth throughout greater Los Angeles. The School Project was already up and running, having been implemented three years earlier by Zeichner when he was Artistic Director at another nonprofit. Our organization has grown to include 5 full-time and 2 part-time administrative staff, and more than 36 directors. Every member plays an important role in our success.
