The association provides a variety of educational and arts opportunities to students and their families in the greater new haven community. These programs provide access to the arts to many that would otherwise be unable to do so. These programs are accomplished through workshops, master classes, visiting artist projects, and community ticket distributions. Over the fiscal year, we served over 13,000 students. Additionally, the association is contracted by the new haven board of education to provide management and technical services for cooperative arts and humanities high school's arts programs, related theatres and support spaces, along with internship programs in ushering and technical theatre. See schedule othis partnership also provides almost 100 students with technical theatre training and allows them to become a workforce for the school. The students will be able to take these skills onto higher education programs, apprenticeships and job opportunities.
