transcenDANCE Youth Arts Project
transcenDANCE is a nationally-recognized creative youth development organization that works with teens in underserved San Diego communities. Our programs change the trajectory of students’ lives by building resilience, confidence, and creativity and by instilling life-changing skills such as leadership, collaboration, and community engagement.
CREATE & CONNECT Virtual
We have created new ways to connect through art in times of physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through virtual classes, rehearsals, and one-on-one therapy sessions we are creating material for our 2020 CREATE Performing Group performance, Home within a Home, a transparent look at our experiences during this unprecedented time.
In addition, alumni of the CREATE Performing Group are creating material for a new film series Portraits of Space. Portraits of Home.

IMPACT
transcenDANCE measures our impact using the PEAR (Program in Education, After School, and Resiliency) assessment tools developed at Harvard to monitor student progress and success. This quantitative data validates the work that transcenDANCE is doing to keep youth in school and help them pursue college, seek leadership positions, and pursue careers.
