Program accomplishments
- Summer Camps! Our summer camps were our best we've had since the pandemic. Nearly full across 5 full weeks of camp. Each of the camps produced a LIVE PERFORMANCE at a local community venue, free of charge and open to the public. 1:1 Lessons - Our 1:1 Lessons programs, both on and off site were resurgent in 2024. With a significant increase in adult student signups, and generally full schedules in our off site 1:1 lessons programs, we hope this trajectory continues. Access SFUSD x Rock Project collaboration. We contracted with SFUSD's The Arc program for students on the spectrum. This program produced 2x live performance productions in public spaces; both shows benefiting the San Francisco Unified School District. We served 10 youths with disabilities for 4 months with weekly group sessions all culminating in live performances at the end of the season. We plan to continue this program in following years.Expenses $152,305 · grants $800 · revenue $157,763
