Help the Project - help the futures of youths grow

Help The Project is a fandom auction to benefit The Virginia Avenue Project. (Note: the website is temporarily down; they're working on getting it back up.)


The Virginia Avenue Project mentors Los Angeles children and teenagers, teaching classes in theatre and other arts, tutoring them in academics, and partnering with them to create and perform original plays.

From the Project: "The stats on the auction are outdated - new stats: 100% high school, 95% college and 98% first in the family..."

As grants for arts and education have been cut, we are in danger of losing our centerpiece program, the One-on-Ones, in which short plays are specially written for each kid to act in with a professional actor. We take them to summer camp to rehearse, then return to Los Angeles to put on a show.

This program changes kids’ lives... and it’s not happening this year unless we can raise $15,000 by mid-March.
