COMMUNITY ARTS EDUCATORS

Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First (TOHYF) connects professional artists with at-risk and underserved youth to prevent and intervene in youth violence by involving youngsters (grades Pre-K-12) in high quality, standards-based, multidisciplinary arts educational workshops in urban schools, juvenile detention centers, and community sites throughout Los Angeles County.

Education, Empowerment, and Excellence through Hip Hop dance, culture, and practice.

Arts learning is integral to all that we do at The Wallis: connecting audiences with the very best in the performing arts; using the power of the arts to build community and address pressing social issues; and responding to critical needs in the greater community through arts leadership, collaboration and partnership.

For over 40 years, Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum has provided professional Repertory performances of Shakespeare and other plays in its beautiful outdoor amphitheatre in Topanga Cyn. Education has always been cored to Theatricum's mission and, as such, the theatre serves over 15,000 students a year with field trips, assemblies, workshops, and residencies.

Since our founding in 1955, the Young Musicians Foundation has striven to provide access to high-quality musical education to youth, regardless of economic or cultural background.

We impact the creativity of more than 1200 students each year by mentoring them to write their own original stories and seeing them brought to life on stage and film.
