To Reach, Teach, and Inspire Children
Through the ARTS

Board of Directors

Rachel Druten, Founder of Tools For Tomorrow was inspired by her experiences with the Palm Springs Art Museum – Making Friends with the Masters, and with the Idyllwild Arts Foundation Summer program. Rachel founded TOOLS FOR TOMORROW in 1999 with four schools in Desert Hot Springs.

Rachel has dedicated her life to the arts and the children of the Coachella Valley.  It is her dream that every child has the opportunity to participate in a Tools For Tomorrow program.
