About The Program

Mission Statement

The Open Arts Alliance Leadership Council is composed of students in grades 8-12 who have shown a prior commitment to OAA through their participation in (at minimum) one mainstage show and one additional show over the course of the last three years. Leaders are developed through the council with the aim of mentoring new and younger students in the organization, aiding in organizing tasks, program development, parent and student outreach, and social media. Students also serve with the mission of supporting the community in the name of Open Arts Alliance to the end of learning to form a connection between a non-profit organization and the community it serves.
