About Arts for Learning Massachusetts, formerly Young Audiences of Massachusetts, Inc. (YAMA)

The Mission of Arts for Learning Massachusetts is to educate, inspire, and empower the youth of Massachusetts through the arts. We believe that the arts are an essential component of both formal education and youth development, and that creative expression opens worlds. We recognize the transformational power of the arts for social justice and healing. We are committed to providing youth of all abilities, identities, and backgrounds access to the rich educational opportunities and sense of belonging inherent in arts learning. We have music, theater, dance, storytelling and visual arts programs for PreK-12 grade students in schools, libraries, community centers, museums, hospitals, shelters and adaptive learning environments.
