2. Loop It Up Savannah is a local nonprofit which supports art education in Chatham County schools, supporting more than 10,000 students. Executive Director Molly Lieberman said, "We always collaborate with our partners really closely to figure out what our programming should include and that is something that has really inspired the growth that we've had because we're always doing what people actually want and need rather than something that sort of sits on the surface." Loop It Up Savannah provides a variety of classes, including crochet and knitting. (Savannah Morning News)
