The School Of YES!
The mission of The School of YES! is to give young people the skills to say “yes” to a future of their choice rather than feel pressured into a future defined by their environment.
School Of Yes! is a series of residencies in the Dallas neighborhood school of West Dallas and Oak Cliff as well as a summer program at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center. This year, at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center summer program, students ages 7-14 will receive free tuition with six stipend positions for youth leaders who will also participate in their own classes.
The School of YES! is a multidisciplinary arts program for students ages 7-14 offering access to professional instruction. Students will learn fundamental techniques of theater, music, dance, visual art, leadership skills and urbanism. This year’s summer camp will close with an outdoor festival and street fair featuring processions, performances, art booths and urbanism installations. Through these multidisciplinary arts classes, young people learn that creativity is a life skill.
