Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Agency 515; The Social Education Theatre will provide creative youth development programming to transition age youth of color, and communities that support them. Our work uses theatre and script writing to teach suicide prevention and mental health education, healthy relationships and leadership development.

Organization Summary

Agency 515; The Social Education Theatre is a collective of social artists who seek to create literacy, understanding and inspire solidarity within youth and communities through education and creative arts. We encourage youth to be critical thinkers; to develop their own identities, respect culture and diversity, and build resiliency in their own experiences. We use various art mediums for personal and artistic development; engaging youth in discussion about culture, community, and the complexities of their every day experiences. Most importantly, we empower them to use their voice to challenge social norms and create change where needed. Participants gain these skills in fun, interactive learning environment that promotes creativity and healthy self expression, and provides collaborative opportunities and grants to create social change in their own communities. Our programing is aimed towards Transition Aged Youth aged 14-25 but encourages community attendance and participation
