Program areas at Destiny Arts Center
Approximately 79% of students at our School and Community partner sites attend Title I schools, mainly in East and West Oakland. We continued to expand our reach in the East Bay, working with partners in Richmond, San Pablo, San Leandro, and Berkeley.
Over the past year, Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company (DAYPC, ages 13-18) and Destiny Junior Company (DJC, ages 9-12) transitioned back into a full performance schedule, creating an original show which debuted at Laney College. There were 1400 audience members during the performance weekend, and we reached 200 new households.
For FY23, Destiny reached over 4,500 young people ages 3-18. Onsite at our North Oakland Center, 565 students were enrolled in our culturally-affirming movement arts classes. We hosted 62 residencies at 39 sites, reaching over 4,000 young people in neighborhoods where they learn, play, and live. Destinys Teddy Bear Movement early childhood classes expanded to four community sites. We also re-engaged with the Alameda County Office of Education to provide culturally affirming arts classes to systems-involved youth at the Alameda Juvenile Justice Center and Community Court Schools.
