OUR IMPACT

A note from our Executive Director Samantha Kelly:

"I'm particularly proud of the work we did to ensure equitable access to ALL of our programs by making our summer camps pay-what-you-can tuition, only partnering with organizations that offer programming to youth free-of-charge, and keeping our core programming completely free to youth. We piloted a new Student Advisory Board to make sure youth voice was included in decisions that impact our work. And through our expanded Job Training Program and Creative Career Cohort, we put more than $23,000 directly into the hands of our youth - in addition to mentoring them in their career development. We believe in preparing the next generation of creative leaders, and we delivered on that promise in 2022!"
