Exploration Kids Enrichment Scholarship Fund

Donation protected
Exploration Kids! Enrichment is a Denver based in-school enrichment program offering Dance, Yoga, Theatre and Cheerleading classes for at-risk youth within the local school districts. 

Our students come from diverse backgrounds which is why our business philosophy is "Every Child should have access to the Performing Arts." We believe everyone regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, or social status should have the access to the arts and the opportunity to participate in performing arts classes. 

With the COVID-19 pandemic closing all the major school districts in Colorado, our students are struggling to gain access to these classes. Numerous factors have affected their ability to join us Virtually, however the primary factors keeping families from participating have been: 

- Parents have lost jobs and can no longer afford tuition
- Limited Access to computers and Internet

Exploration Kids! Enrichment would like to help these families in need access Performing Arts Classes through our EKE Scholarship Fund. 

The Scholarship Fund will provide the following to families:

1) We will provide 100% Tuition-Free Scholarships to families who can no longer afford tuition due to job loss or a covid-19 related illness. 

2) We would love to help a  families access computers and internet services so they may access their Virtual Performing Arts Classes. 

Why are the Performing Arts Important?
Art programs have the potential to help improve a student's memory and concentration skills, develop decision-making and critical thinking skills, enhance communication and listening skills, but also encourage focus and discipline. An arts education can also help a student to improve self-esteem and social skills. 

In Colorado (According to the After School Alliance)
