A significant segment of our youth lack access to the performing arts. In fact, 20 of our 24 local elementary schools have a majority of their student population that qualifies for free and reduced meals, and these same schools have a minority population over 50%.
Every Kid at the PAC (EKAP) is an outreach program committed to improving the quality of life for North Central Washington’s underprivileged youth. EKAP includes a three-pronged approach to allow students in local schools, especially those with high poverty populations, to experience the performing arts:
- Performances at the Numerica PAC
- In-school assemblies
- In-school classroom workshops
EKAP offers dynamic, interactive exchanges between students and artists designed to inspire creativity, motivation, imagination as well as promoting cross-cultural communication. These educational experiences help students build a positive self-image as well as an enriched understanding and appreciation of their community.
Since its start, EKAP has worked with 12 school districts: Wenatchee, Eastmont, Cashmere, Cascade, Quincy, Entiat, Orondo, Waterville, Chelan, Manson, Pateros, the Palisades, and more to come! If you are intersted in participating in our EKAP program, please contact Alex Haley at [email protected]
Thanks to a generous donation from Apple Valley Honda, the Numeica PAC is able to provide small grants to help offset some of the cost of transportation for outlying schools that otherwise would not be able to attend the EKAP performance. Grants will be distributed on a case-by-case basis while funds remain. Someone from the Numerica PAC will contact you promptly regarding your application status.
