CREATE ·2023 Grants ChallengeWill Power to Youth
Will Power to Youth is The Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles' summer intensive program. We hire under-resourced youth as full-time, paid employees to study, create, produce, and perform adaptations of Shakespearean plays while building skills of responsibility, teamwork, communication, and workplace etiquette. Youth are guided by trained teaching artists/mentors, human relations facilitators, and peer mentors who are program alumni. The program culminates in public performances offered to audiences free-of-charge.
