Donate to Hope Academy of Music and the Arts
Hope Academy of Music and the Arts is East Liberty Presbyterian Church’s largest outreach ministry. Since its founding in 1999, it has become a trusted and respected cultural hub in our community where children, youth, families, teachers and artists come to tell their stories, build artistic skills and engage with each other in creative and transformative ways. We rely on foundations and individual donors to provide scholarships for more than half of our students who come from low-income families; or those who represent a racial, cultural or ethnic minority. Your donation will help us continue to be intentionally diverse and culturally relevant as we provide a safe place for young people to further their personal and artistic growth through the study of theater, dance and music.
Over 400 students and their families participate in Hope Academy’s dance, theater and music programs each year—with as many students currently on the wait list.
Please consider making an end of the year contribution so that we can continue our work and expand our reach.
