About Us

Broadway Bound Kids is a nonprofit providing a transformative and inclusive environment that inspires youth through performing arts education. We provide comprehensive interactive programs for Pre-K through 12th grade in the performing arts that focus on enhancing technical skills, social-emotional learning, confidence, connection, mindfulness, and creativity.

We cultivate communities of open hearts and minds amongst a diverse cross section of youth in New York City and beyond by enabling every student to explore all they can be, on stage and off.
