We reached our goal of raising $25,000 in our 25th anniversary year on December 24!

Food costs have increased since we originally set this goal at the beginning of the year. Any additional funds raised will assist us with this part of the program.

Acting For Young People celebrated our 25th Anniversary in 2022. We are so grateful to our donors for helping us reach our fundraising goal!

Acting For Young People has an ongoing goal to increase our community outreach, making it possible for all students to attend our after school classes.

Raising $25,000 will fund:

  • Three 8-week sessions of our tuition-free TIME TO SHINE Program for 25 students at three local Title I schools.

  • Provide scholarships for 70 students to attend an 8-week after school class.

  • Commission an inclusivity-themed play for students to perform.

Our TIME TO SHINE program is designed for students attending Title I elementary schools in Fairfax County. The program integrates practical life skills with performing arts skills, leading to more confident individuals that feel it is possible to change their future by working hard and embracing the opportunities presented to them.

TIME TO SHINE students reflect on their experience of performing for friends and family.
