Inclusion Through Theatre Arts

Inclusion Through Theatre Arts

The Inclusion Through Theatre Arts project involves musical theatre workshops for typically developing and special needs youth in our after school programs at PS 207, and pairing of typically developing and special needs youth in workshops by encouraging friendship and inclusion of youth with varying abilities.

Kingsbridge Heights Community Center (KHCC) was founded in 1974 by three passionate female activists who petitioned City Hall to transform a former Bronx police station into a settlement house in the underserved, under-resourced neighborhood of Kingsbridge Heights. Today, KHCC is one of the Bronx’s premier multi-service community-based organizations reaching over 5500 children, youth, and adults annually across four locations. KHCC is guided by its mission to provide resources to empower Bronx residents from cradle to career to advance education and wellbeing for a vibrant community. It achieves this in an environment that fosters academic milestones, literacy, mental health, nutrition, technology and the arts.
