What’s Happening at YTI

Ms. Zera, our Up-Cycling Arts Instructor, teaching our children how to create costumes and accessories (purses, pouches, wallets) using recycled items while also showing them how they keep their community clean. They also learn how they’re helping save the environment by using discarded items!

A little FUNTIME in-between classes! While in classes, the children are met with positive and encouraging structure and discipline. So allowing them a few moments of free spiritedness before their next class is a great way to keep them focused.

Happy Halloween! YTI being our performative selves, while enjoying our Halloween!

2025 Art$W Match Challenge

Thank you for your support!

Youth Theatre Interactions is able to continue building back their wonderful Creative Arts Program, all because of your support!

Like many creative arts programs, Youth Theatre Interactions struggled throughout the quarantine period of COVID-19, but we weathered out the storm to be able to start building back this beautiful organization. However, we have been met by a new challenge. Due to a cut in grants and funding, we are looking to your generosity and love for our creative arts program for children to make a donation that will be matched by Arts Westchester. It’s their annual Art$W Match Challenge offering of up to $8,500.00 for 2025. Here’s how it works:

If you are a first-time donor to Youth Theatre Interactions, your full donation is eligible to be matched.

If you have previously donated to Youth Theatre Interactions for past Art$W Challenges, they will match the increase of the amount donated.

Also one of our students, Luna MN Martinez and her Mother Maria Martinez volunteered to assist us as we shared our information regarding YTI. All in fun and giving back to the community!
