Our Parental Liason, Maria Martinez, conducting a special decoration class with our students, as we get ready for St. Valentine’s Day!”

 

Our annual Kwanzaa performance at the Sister To Sister International’s Kwanzaa Celebration. Our students shared the stage with their instructors and presented a beautiful piece using movement and song!

During Winter Holiday Recess we held a camp. Ms. Camilla, our Latin Dance Instructor, is also a great storytime teller. Also, Luna, our older student and 1st CIT (Counselor In Training) also stepped up and worked with our littles with their starting positions with dance. Versatility and sharing are always welcomed with the YTI family!

 

Look at our students creating ornaments with Parent Liaison, Ms. Maria, to hang on our Christmas Tree!

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.
Donate to 2025 Art$W March Challenge
By allocating my donation to the 2025 Art$W Match Challenge Grant. I certify that my new or increased gift donated is for the purpose of the 2025 Art$W Challenge.

What’s Happening at YTI

YTI’s November 2025 Children’s Open Mic Workshop! Hosted by our student Luna Martinez! Performers Serenity, Kareem, Ava, Verrick!

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.
