Programs in COMMUNITY
Collaborative Arts Programming for People of All Ages
All of Rising Youth Theatre’s work is built in community partnerships. These are not surface level interactions - we do not see ourselves as “serving” our community, but as working in active relationships with the people, schools, and organizations around us. When we work with your school or org, we are honored to get to share space and work together towards a shared goal. Whether you are a school, a youth-serving organization, or a corporate entity looking to build community, we can create a program for you! This page is for organizations serving people of all ages - if you are looking for programming for your school please visit our schools page
We’re a community based organization so we create things in partnership with the people and organizations we work with! Shared here is a menu of examples of things we’ve done in the past - however we will always work with our partner to create something that speaks directly to your community and the people in it.
How do you get started?

EXAMPLES OF LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIPS
Alliance for Adolescent Health and Affirm
Rising Youth Theatre is collaborating with Affirm and the Alliance for Adolescent Health to build a series of trainings for adult healthcare providers who work with youth. The vision behind these trainings is to provide adult health care providers with tools for centering young people's wisdom and expertise in their own bodies during medical appointments and imagine new ways for youth leadership to be present in healthcare spaces. Over the course of this partnership, Rising Youth Theatre has reached more than 600 adult care providers.
Aguila Library / YWCA of Metropolitan Phoenix
In 2023, in partnership with YWCA of Arizona, Rising Youth Theatre partnered to bring a theatre project to Aguila, Arizona, working with young people to talk about mental health. Rising Youth Theatre’s teaching artists spent four days working at the Aguila Library with young people, who ultimately created an original performance that was shared for their families alongside a performance from Rising Youth Theatre. Over the course of our time in Aguila participating students went from sitting on the sidelines to performing for their friends and family and we are enthusiastically continuing this as a multi-year partnership
