DRAMA CLUBS

In many of DAT’s partner communities, young people grow up with very little access to arts education. A Drama Club changes that. Each club connects them to a team of local artists and educators, plus DAT master artists and teaching artists who come in through residencies to lead workshops, deepen the work, mentor emerging leaders, and build practical skills. Together, they give young people the tools and support to share their own stories. For many, it’s the first time anyone has told them, “Your story matters.”

Your support sustains creative homes where young people gather, where cultural traditions are carried forward in the voices of those who will inherit them, and where communities on the frontlines of global concerns have space to process, respond, and dream through story and imagination.

DAT Drama Clubs uplift local voices, expand opportunity, and nurture youth leadership where it matters most.

Whether you're an alum, a donor, a partner, or a foundation, we’ll help you connect your support to a specific community or cause—from Indigenous-led work in the Amazon to youth empowerment in Central Europe and beyond. Tell us where your heart pulls you, and we’ll help you make that connection real.
