We acknowledge that, as a result of societal inequality, some youth have more barriers to participation than others. We are dedicated to lowering/overcoming these barriers for young people with disabilities, persons of color, LGBTQ+ youth, English language learners, youth from low-income families, and other underserved youth.
All youth deserve the opportunity to experience exceptional performance arts education, regardless of their ability to pay. At SPARC, we work hard to make sure tuition costs are not a barrier to personal growth, creative expression, and community connections. Each year, as many as 1/3 of program participants can access scholarships, thanks to generous community donations.
