Our Mission
Broadway for Arts Education (BAE) is a nonprofit organization that uses arts education to dismantle systemic barriers to success for underserved youth. Partnering with the Broadway community, teaching artists, and schools around the world, BAE brings a culturally-responsive and decolonized approach to arts education.

Our Impact
Since 2018, hundreds of teaching artists, Broadway performers, and generous donors have helped us provide tens of thousands of hours of transformative arts education programs to young people around the world. BAE currently provides more than 120 dance, music, visual arts, poetry, theater, and podcasting classes each week to hundreds of young people in New York City, Haiti, India, and the Galapagos Islands.
Safety & Bravery
We believe that there are three ways to live your life: you could play it safe, push too hard, or you could challenge yourself to explore and grow outside of your comfort zone and #LiveInTheOrange! We invite everyone in our community, from board members to teachers to students to donors, to embrace this philosophy and thrive their unique zone of proximal development.
