YANY’s mission is to use the arts as a catalyst for exploring creativity and advancing equity for New York City youth, families, and communities.

Watch your impact at work in this video!

Each year, we give thousands of children the chance to create art, taught by our distinguished company of practicing, professional, New York City artists.

Your support allows us to use art as a platform to strengthen family and community ties, facilitate discourse, improve learning achievement, and broaden career outlooks for NYC's young people.

Thank you for being part of this community!
