Overview
Performing Arts Workshop helps young people develop critical thinking, creative expression, and basic learning skills through the arts, primarily seeking to serve at-risk, inner-city teens in San Francisco. The Workshop’s methodology teaches students in grades K-12 through its signature residency programs, reaching 10,000 young people in public schools, after-school programs, and community centers. PAW is a leader in arts education advocacy and the broader education reform movement; its advocacy program utilizes research and the conviction that every child deserves to benefit from the arts to influence policymakers and build grassroots coalitions to support the arts in schools and communities. This deeper Organizational Effectiveness grant would enable Performing Arts Workshop to conduct a variety of critical planning activities as it approaches its 50th anniversary in 2015.
