Programs - Art and Culture
Step Team
As part of the National Step Show Alliance, our children are taught step routines with a positive message from local college students and alumni. They participate in performances and traveling competitions throughout the year. To be a member of the YES Step Team, our children must exhibit excellence in behavior, academics, and attitude.
Arts/Cultural Programs
Because many low-income children don’t have access or exposure to the arts, YES has recently added an “Arts and Cultural Enrichment” program to bring the arts to them. YES has always incorporated art projects and music into our programs, but this new program will take us to a new level by bringing in several talented professionals to nurture the children’s interests and talents in three areas: art, music and drama.
Volunteer Opportunity: organize plays, build props, teach music or art
Field Trips
In order to expose the children that we serve to the world outside of inner city communities, we take them on field trips throughout the year. These field trips include sporting events, plays, museums, ballets, theme parks…we even take them to the opera!
