Youth Theatre Interactions is celebrating Live of The Arts all of February and how fitting during Valentine’s Day and Black History Month. We’ve started our campaign “Have A Heart! Support The Arts!” A $5 donation will get you a heart with your name on it, and the proceeds go straight to YTI in support of keeping our doors open for our underserved children, who will continue to receive top-notch instruction from top-tier, talented instructors.

Our Parental Liaison, Maria Martinez, is 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 the Winter Holiday Recess, we held a camp. Ms. Camilla, our Latin Dance Instructor, is also a great storyteller. 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!

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.
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.
