Get Involved
An annual advocacy and awareness initiative first championed by Conductor Leonard Bernstein in 1971, YA Week has grown into a two-week celebration of arts-in-education observed each spring by the YA network, leaders in the field, and individual champions around the country. Organizations and individual advocates alike are encouraged to participate in YA Week by addressing local leaders about the importance of arts-in-education, and by showing support on social media using #YAweek.
