Young Audiences of Northern California has been creating art experiences that inspire young people, expand learning, and enliven communities since 1958. 

We support K-12 students in staying actively involved in their education, ensuring they don’t feel isolated, overwhelmed, or disengaged. Our goal is to help them build confidence, feel acknowledged, and stay motivated, empowering them to grow into happier and more successful adults.   

Our goal is to reach children where they live, learn, and play with meaningful arts engagement.
