Opportunities to get involved with TeAda as a volunteer, artist, and supporter.
Donate to TeAda's Sprout Campaign
In support of our community and youth programming, TeAda is hosting a resource campaign called SPROUT.
Every donation helps. Each dollar we receive through the SPROUT campaign will be used towards TeAda's Education and Outreach programs, providing free arts workshops and theater tickets for underpriviledged youth and underserved communities.
For example, this year TeAda has held free arts workshops and theater tickets for the Santa Monica Boys & Girls Club, Virginia Avenue Project, Santa Monica High School, and the Community Corporation of Santa Monica. With your help we can expand our outreach to more organizations, schools, and after-school programs that work with youth from low-income families. We hope to add five to seven new communities to our outreach program within the next year.
Our goal is to raise $20,000 by June 30, and the only way we can achieve this is with your help.

SPROUT is an opportunity for socially conscious individuals, businesses and corporations to get involved in the education of youth around issues examined in this poignant new family friendly production and accompanying educational workshops.
How can you help? We are still raising funds for the production. The more funding we receive, the more we will be able to outreach to Native communities in the greater Los Angeles area and environmental organizations. Additional resources would also be applied to making the show accessible to low-income youth and Native communities. Donations can be made online by clicking the DonateNow button.
Thank you for your support. |
