"The program opened their eyes to a different culture and way of life. Arts education breathes life into an ordinary school day, expanding their imaginations and carrying into other subjects." –Teacher's evaluation of a Young Audiences program.

Students need arts learning programming. And schools are striving to stretch their limited budgets farther every year. Young Audiences of Northern California bridges the gap between what students need and what schools can afford. Our program fees cover only a portion of the actual costs of delivering academically relevant and artistically excellent arts programming to students. This gap typically represents just over $2/student and is offset through the generosity of our supporters.
The impact you can make is significant:
- $50 bridges the gap for an arts residency serving one classroom
- $150 bridges the gap for arts residencies for an entire grade level at a school
- $500 fully-underwrites one performance assembly for a school
- $2,000 bridges the gap for arts residencies for an entire school
We offer convenient online donation options, or you can call our office to make arrangements for one-time or recurring credit card contributions. Regardless of how much you decide to contribute, you can be confident that your dollars will bridge the gap for Bay Area young people.
