BROOKLYN YOUTH COMPANY

Giving artistic kids the theatrical experiences they deserve.

ABOUT

When Brooklyn Youth Company began in 2010, the mission was to create original theatrical work with young people and to provide a field trip program that explored the art, theater, dance and cultural landscape of New York City designed to nurture and develop young artistic minds. 

THEATER

BYC is a theatre-making program where students learn how to act, write direct and produce original work.

Our Shows

FIELD TRIPS

BYC is committed to engaging students in the cultural resources of NYC so field trips to Broadway plays, museums, NYC landmarks, etc. are included in each session.

COMMUNITY

BYC fosters community and life-long friendships. It also offers a youth director program for high school students who have previously participated in the program.

WHY DONATE

BYC is a small operation with little to no overhead or superfluous expenses. Every penny of your donation will directly benefit the Youth Artists and the community in a multitude of ways:

  • Helps families continue supporting their childrens’ artistic endeavors and defray the transportation costs of attending the Intensive.
  • Hiring BYC alumni and local college students as Assistant Directors and Youth Mentors provides jobs that will enhance creativity, confidence, and collaboration skills.
  • Your money will help continue our student-only and family field trips to theater, dance, art and cultural events in New York, including connecting Youth Artists to theater professionals for private classes, coaching and mentoring.
  • The field trip experiences gives equitable access to the arts and cultural experiences for those who might otherwise be excluded.
