Project Title: Free Youth Programs for 2024 and 2025
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Beaufort County Arts Council (BCAC) provides arts education and community programming throughout our region and offers arts-programming support to schools and nonprofits. We serve over 14,000 people per year at our site (the Historic Turnage Theatre) and many more through community partnerships. Incorporated in 1972, the BCAC serves eastern North Carolina, primarily Beaufort and surrounding counties. <\/p>\n
Beaufort is \u201ceconomically disadvantaged\u201d, with a poverty rate of 18.7% (1.4x that of the state of North Carolina and 1.5x that of the U.S. as a whole) however that rate is not dispersed evenly. Households in our County without children face lower rates of poverty (only 12%) as those households with children (28.8% living in poverty). Families with youth struggle most in our County. Most area schools have had to cut arts programs. <\/p>\n
Requested funding will be used to offset the hard costs (teachers, food, supplies) of offering arts & STEAM programming for youth in Beaufort County throughout 2024-2025 free of charge to families and schools, eliminating the stigma felt by families having to request financial aid. We anticipate serving over 200 youth in classes & camps and over 4,000 in free services through this program. <\/p>\n
Access to the arts is especially important for youth. Here are just a few examples: (1) Research shows low-income students with arts participation are 5x less likely to drop out
\nof school (2) Students in arts programs are 4x more likely to participate in science or math fairs. (3) The College Board published evidence that students who took art classes scored an
\naverage of 92 points higher on SATs. Arts education is understood by research to be a \u201cfield-leveling\u201d intervention, meaning that while research suggests all students benefit from arts education, its effect on academic achievement is strongest for lowest-income students. <\/p>\n
