Rebel Arts Beginner Scholarship Program

Kensington Community Resilience Fund

The funds from this grant will be used to cover tuition for 25 adolescent youth in Kensington for the 2023-2024 year. This year we also want to expand offerings to including acrobatics, aerial arts, and creative movement.

About

Last year, we were able to see the impact of having funded creative arts programs for youth in Kensington and how significant the experience was for participants, this year we hope to reach more youth and focus on adolescents. The funds from this grant will be used to cover tuition for 25 adolescent youth in Kensington for the 2023-2024 year. This year we also want to expand offerings to including acrobatics, aerial arts, and creative movement. Circus and aerial arts are not typically accessible in Kensington so this will help us provide instruction at a low cost. It also increases accessibility for students in this community to engage in performing arts. At the end of the program, students will participate in a performance for the community. We will be able to monitor the success of the program by monitoring growth of students. It is our hope that this will allow students to continue training and access more opportunities for high school admissions and an increase in stress management. This program will impact minority youth ages 9-15 who are from low-income households under $40,000 a year annually living in the Kensington area. Knowing our target community, we have done our best to develop trauma informed instruction and creating events for family engagement.
