Help YACS Jazz Combo get to NY for the YA National Gala

Students in the High School YACS Jazz Combo study both the technical aspects of reading and playing music, as well as its historical and cultural relevance. Band members learn the personal and social skills of teamwork, leadership, discipline, hard work, and dedication.

The Jazz Combo has been invited to perform at the Young Audiences Arts For Learning 2024 National Benefit Gala on October 22. The event will take place at the Bowery Hotel in New York City where they will be honoring Trevor Noah with an Artistic Inspiration and Empowerment Award. We invite you to help offset costs for travel and lodging. We are so excited for our students to take part in the wonderful opportunity.

Thank you in advance for your support!

At Young Audiences Charter Schools (YACS), our arts-integration curriculum reflects recent research from the arts education field that provides significant evidence of the value of the arts in the learning process. In our school, teachers and administrators work to create and support a culture of high expectations that allows every student to reach their greatest potential, providing a creative, nurturing, and challenging academic environment to encourage students' individual learning and empower them to take their place in today's innovative and entrepreneurial economy.

Our Mission is to educate the whole child through arts integration and equip our creative learners to flourish as leaders in life and learning.
