Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Inspire young people and expand their learning through the arts. We work toward this mission by incorporating our four elements model into all the work we do. Every YA offering ensures that all participants will experience extraordinary art and artists, understand the value of art and creativity in the world, have the opportunity to create art that engages the imagination and express ideas, and connect art and the creative process to life and other learning. Since our founding in 1973, we have grown into the region's largest arts education organization and in 2012 we merged with Young Audiences of Eastern Pennsylvania. We have evolved from a presenter of western classical music offered in school assembly programs to an organization that provides workshops, residencies, performances, professional development seminars and family arts opportunities in every art form throughout the State of NJ and 7 counties in Eastern PA. Our work is child-centered, outcome driven, measurably effective an

Activities or mission (Part I)

Inspire young people and expand their learning through the arts.

  • Assemblies: Since our founding in 1973, we have grown into the region's largest arts education organization and in Nov 2012 merged with Young Audiences of Eastern Pennsylvania and began doing business as Young Audiences New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. This year we presented over 944 diverse assembly programs. Dynamic and interactive, our assemblies turn live performances into powerful teaching tools for large groups of students. Young Audiences' performers entertain and delight children as they bring educational topics vividly to life. We serve nearly 400,000 children and 20,000 teachers throughout NJ and Eastern PA.

    Expenses $1,583,977 · Grants $365,175 · Revenue $589,728

  • Workshops/Residencies: This year we presented approximately 1786 workshops and residencies to the children of New Jersey and Eastern PA. Our workshops and residencies provide focused, hands-on learning with trained teaching artists in classroom settings. Students receive individual attention as they work with the artists and learn about their art form. Our workshops and residencies connect performances with school curricula and challenge children to think critically.

    Expenses $684,233 · Grants $434,383 · Revenue $254,745

  • Professional Development:Two hundred four (204) professional development seminars were presented to teachers and administrators this year. Young Audiences is a registered Class One Provider with the NJ State Professional Teaching Standards Board. Our workshops contribute to the 100-hour professional development requirement for teachers and come with all the necessary documentation. These workshops give teachers fresh methods for approaching literacy, math, science and other subjects, opening the curriculum to a whole new world that can improve students' academic skills and understanding, self esteem, motivation, problem solving skills, communications and more.

    Expenses $199,752 · Grants $172,911 · Revenue $74,369
