We’re a non-profit driven by a purpose beyond the stage.
Yes! And... Collaborative Arts (YACA) is a youth-centered organization dedicated to amplifying voices, nurturing agency, and creating community through performing arts experiences. We believe youth should have no barriers when discovering their unique perspectives because the future depends on compassionate, curious, and courageous leaders.
Youth Empowerment Programming
From Kindergarten through 12th grade, our programs open the imaginations of our youth and show them what is possible about themselves and the world.
Art Programming for Everyone
We love the arts as a tool for personal growth and change, and the real impact is when these kids are empowered to make change in their families, communities and schools. We know that this works best when it’s available for ALL kids, bringing children and youth together from diverse backgrounds for unique learning experiences.
“She feels like she is part of something bigger than herself, a community of actors and creatives. She learned that she can do a lot more than she thought herself capable of. She also had a load of fun...”
