"The Moys & YAI Need Your Help!" GTTM 2020

YAI Alumni Message:

Tim and I have been involved with YAI since 2010 when Paige and Lauren were asked to audition to do Chinese dancing in The Monkey King. We have been involved ever since. We currently are on the Board of Directors. We have not only watched our two girls blossom into confident young adults but we have also watched many other young people do the same.  We all have made life-long friendships.

The mission of YAI is to bring the arts to St. Paul and the east side.  We need

your help to accomplish this. Become part of our YAI family, and help us to continue providing the opportunity to bring the Arts into so many young people.

Today we need Your Help! we have a personal goal of raising a minimum of $2,000 for this great cause. If 10 friends donate $200 then the goal is met and done. If you are saying you can donate more - GREAT! If you are in a place to give even $50-$200-$500-$1,000 - AWESOME! I need your help to see this company exist for another 17 years helping Minnesota youth! :)

MISSION

The mission of Young Artists Initiative (YAI) is to transform lives through theater! We do this by educating young theater artists through accessible, high quality performing arts programming offered in an inclusive community setting.

HISTORY

YAI grew out of a desire to provide excellent theater opportunities to young people whose economic situations may prevent them from accessing such creative endeavors. Our company does BIG work, and it is our mission and our level of quality that draws local artists and families to work with us.

Four qualities distinguish YAI from other youth performing groups: our commitment to kids – not just the production; our commitment to learning – including our board members, adult artists and youth; our commitment to excellence - creating high-quality artistic productions; and our undying passion for what we do.  This is why we’re still around for our 17th season.

YAI's organization thrives with our artistic staff and a committed group of volunteers— educators, artists, alumni parents, and community members — who continue to support and grow the work of YAI, carrying forward the mission of the organization and ensuring the highest quality experiences for the young artists in YAI’s charge.  Since its inception, YAI has produced more than 30 full-scale theatrical shows, including plays, musicals, and interactive theater. 

Make an investment in Minnesota's young people!
