Support our youth

“The smiles it puts on performers’ faces sets up apart, as does YSC’s inclusiveness. YSC helps all kids build better lives, especially kids at risk who otherwise might not have a vehicle for expressing themselves.”

“I truly cannot thank Youth Singers enough, while the singing and dancing are certainly the fun part, the Youth Singers program is so much more than that. The leadership taught me skills and professionalism that you do not learn in school, it provided me with the opportunity to travel with friends, develop lifelong relationships which I continue to benefit from, become confident with the gay male I am, and taught me translatable skills to become a strong leader in my community.”

“I joined in 1996 as a performer in the SENIOR HI division. As a young teen experiencing the stresses and harsh realities of life, Youth Singers was a safe place to get away from it all, where everyone treated you like family and cared that you were doing OK. For many performers, the ATCO Performing Arts Centre and its staff and volunteers still embody that place.”

“YSC has made a tremendous impact on the lives of my daughters and my family! Like me, you probably receive many requests for charitable donations from worthwhile organizations. Please know how much we value your participation as part of our Youth Singers family. Thank you for considering a gift to help ensure your Youth Singers maintains excellence in programming and reaches as many as possible in our community!”

“Youth Singers is a potent force of good in Calgary’s performing arts community that extends far beyond what is achieved musically and artistically.”
