THE MISSION

Young Audiences, Inc. 2009 Annual Report

}

Young Audiences Arts for Learning is the nation’s leading source of arts-in-education services. The purpose of the national Young Audiences organization is to help the broad network of Young Audiences affiliates play a decisive role in all young people’s education and development. Young Audiences envisions a future in which the nation’s children and youth will have the

opportunity to engage in quality arts learning experiences that nurture creativity, build cultural understanding and enhance the development of their learning and life skills.

1

The top ten jobs forecasted to be in demand in 2010 did not even exist in 2004.Essentially, we are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t been invented, to solve problems that haven’t yet been identified.*

These realities make it stunningly clear that simply feeding students a body of knowledge —much of which may well be obsolete by the time they graduate — will not get the job done.

To succeed in a world hurtling forward at such a blistering pace, our young people will need what have come to be called twenty-first century skills. And Young Audiences Arts for Learning, the nation’s pre-eminent provider of arts-in-education services, is planning to deliver them.

Twenty-first century skills include:

Multiple literacies. Not just the threeR’s, but basic, scientific, technologic,visual and information literacies forthe digital age. Also, in an era of increasing globalization, literacy in cultures other than our own.

Self-direction. The U.S. Departmentof Labor estimates that today’s student will have ten to fourteen jobsby the age of 38, so our studentsneed to be life-long self-directedlearners. They must be curious aboutthe world and how it works. Theyhave to be willing to take risks: without risks there would be

little of the innovation that is the life’sblood of our country and economy.

Teamwork and collaboration. In awired world in which there is toomuch information for anyone to knowit all, being able to harness one’sknowledge with that of others, hereand around the globe, is critically important.

Higher order thinking and sound reasoning. The SCANS report fromthe U.S. Department of Labor calls for PreK-12 curricula that foster higherorder thinking and sound reasoning,i.e., “thinking creatively, making decisions, solving problems, seeing

things in the mind’s eye, knowing howto learn and reasoning.”

Hands-on creation. Researchers arefinding learning benefits for studentswho do, who build authentic productswith tools — whether they be sandcastles, computer programs, docu-ments, graphs, LEGO constructionsor musical compositions.

Productivity. Studies show that mostcurrent testing does not measurestudents for productivity, yet it is precisely high productivity thatcorrelates most strongly with workplace success.**

Throughout Young Audiences’ nearly six-decade evolution,we have been early to recognize that experiencing the arts lays an indispensable foundation for students to organically acquire crucial life skills and habits of mind.

That essential foundation is engagement, sometimescalled motivation. Education and business experts Christensen, Horn and Johnson have written:“Motivation is the catalyzing ingredient for every successful innovation. The same is true for learning.” Independent evaluations of Young Audiences programshave shown that nothing engages the heart, mind and en-thusiasm of students like the experience of art. Programslike Arts for Learning Lessons, which combine hands-onarts activities with the latest advances in learning science,emphatically corroborate this.

The national education research organization WestEd affirms that Arts for Learning Lessons’ (A4L) benefits

to students in the development of literacy and 21st cen-tury skills are observable and convincing. A4L engagesstudents at unusually high levels, across diverse popula-tions, providing not only unusually strong arts instruction,but also teaching and learning strategies that teachers andstudents are transferring beyond the program itself. Thou-sands of student exposures to A4L through Young Audi-ences affiliates in Indiana, Louisiana, Miami, NE Ohio, NETexas, Oregon, Rochester, St. Louis and Virginia all confirmthese outcomes.

Likewise, the MetLife Dance for Life initiative is a primeexample of a program that employs a physical art – dance –not only to inspire young people to experience the joy of art, but also to teach children the importance of physical fitness. Seventeen Young Audiences affiliatescompleted the program this year, bringing the total to20,000 students who have participated in it over the past four years.

54

Now, with Young Audiences’ first system-wide strategicplan, developed in conjunction with Boston consulting firm TDC, the network is renewing and enhancing its mission to include the inculcation of learning and life skills.

To that end, we are working to reinforce our historic com-mitment to providing workshops, performance demon-strations, residencies and professional development ofthe highest quality by incorporating into them four signature elements: experiencing art, understanding art, creating art and connecting art to other learning.

We are also putting increased emphasis on creating pro-grams that are even more student-centered, outcome-oriented and, most importantly, backed by protocols thatrigorously measure effectiveness in producing results.

And we are organizing ourselves to take greater and moresystematic advantage of the relationships among affiliatesand between affiliates and the national organization.

The implementation of the new Young Audiences net-work strategic plan coincides with a transition in leader-ship: after 37 years, Richard Bell will be retiring as theNational Executive Director of Young Audiences Arts forLearning in 2010. In addition, new trustees will be joiningthe board. The current National board and staff havebrought us to this transformative moment. Those who areleaving take with them our thanks and the certainty thatour mission — to make a tangible difference in the lives ofour young people through experience of the arts — will bestronger than ever.

Heading the list is the success of Arts for Learning Lessons and Residencies, a literacy program that enhancesreading and writing skills in grades K-8 through the integration of the arts into classroom lessons. A more detaileddescription of this program is given on pages 8-11. Altogether, more than 5,400 students in 14 school districtsacross the country received Arts for Learning Units or Residencies. The 11 affiliates participating in the Lessons in the 2007-08school year are: Indiana, Louisiana, Miami, New Jersey, Northeast Texas,Northern California, Oregon, Rochester, San Diego, Virginia, and Wichita,Kansas. Additionally, there was a pilot site in Las Vegas.

The success of Arts for Learning Lessons is backed by the unprecedented sup-port Young Audiences has received from The Starr Foundation. This spring, TheStarr Foundation awarded Young Audiences the largest grant in our history:$2.25 million to support Arts for Learning Lessons and Residencies for the next

18 months. We thank The Starr Foundation forthis generous gift and its unwavering support forthis groundbreaking project.

Associated with the development of Arts for Learning Lessons is the BETWEENTHE LIONS® program, inaugurated this year with residencies involving about 570students in New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Portland, Oregon. BETWEEN THE LIONSResidencies provide a supplemental literacy program for students in grades K-2, de-veloped in collaboration with the highly acclaimed, PBS television series “BETWEENTHE LIONS.”

This year Young Audiences affiliates had phenomenal success in enlisting schoolsupport and the participation of thousands of students in the MetLife Dance for LifeResidencies. Participating in the third year of this program were 17 affiliates in Col-orado, Houston, Indiana, Kansas City, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey,

Northern California. The success of Arts for Learning Lessons is backed by the un-precedented support Young Audiences has received from The Starr Foundation.

Letter from the Executive Director

Brooks ThomasChairman

William PearsonChairman

Richard BellNational Executive Director

It has been our privilege to continue serving Young Audiences Arts for Learning in its 56thyear. In 2008, seven million children across the country benefited from arts-in-educationprograms that unlock their creative and inventive abilities and teach them how to think con-ceptually. The breadth and excellence of Young Audiences’ work shows in this year’s pro-grammatic accomplishments. The 11 affiliates participating in the Lessons in the 2007-08school year are: Indiana, Louisiana, Miami, New Jersey, Northeast Texas, Northern California,Oregon, Rochester, San Diego, Virginia, and Wichita, Kansas. Additionally, there was a pilot site in Las Vegas.

For 57 years, Young Audiences Arts for Learning hasset the standard for excellence in arts in education.In large part, Young Audiences owes its sustainedsuccess to many board members who have played a vital role in our growth. Before turning attentionto some of our programs, we want to acknowledgethe dedication of one trustee who has been involved in Young Audiences’ achievements for over three decades — John W. Creamer.

John served as our board presidentfor 30 years. A retired partner of thenational accounting firm of Ernst &Young, John has provided expert as-sistance to the board and to YoungAudiences affiliates in the areas of financial management and budgeting.With his characteristic enthusiasm,John has been invaluable in helping tostrengthen ties between the Nationalboard and affiliate board members.Fortunately, John will remain on theboard as one of three vice chairs,joined by Mrs. Michel P. Fribourg andMrs. Maurice R. Greenberg. He alsowill serve as interim Treasurer. In ad-dition, Young Audiences slate of offi-cers includes three vice presidents:Thomas R. Berner, Lady Maughan,and Mrs. John L. Weinberg. We lookforward to working with them and the entire board to fulfill our mission and goals.

A new Five Year Strategic Plan wascompleted this summer. The plan putsforward a network-wide value propo-sition that is distinctive and ambitious,along with the key goals and strate-gies that all Young Audiences affili-ates can employ to realize the plan’svision of the future. The plan empha-sizes the delivery of quality arts learning experiences that producemeasurable outcomes for young peo-ple in relation to the development oftheir creativity, cultural awareness,

and learning skills. It also places astrong focus on advocacy and formingnew regional and national partner-ships. The successful implementationof the plan will increase our impactand lead to greater visibility for theorganization and the arts-in-educationfield. Of greatest importance, YoungAudiences programs will result in tan-gible outcomes for children and youthin schools, in the home, and through-out the communities we serve.

We are pleased to report the contin-ued success of Young Audiences’major network-wide signature pro-grams. Heading the list is the Arts forLearning Lessons and Residencies, asupplemental literacy curriculum designed to improve student reading,writing and learning skills in grades 3-8. Independent classroom evalua-tions have confirmed the positive effects of this program. This year,10,000 students participated in theArts for Learning Lessons and Resi-dencies sponsored by affiliates in In-diana, Louisiana, Miami, NortheastOhio, Northeast Texas, Oregon,Rochester, St. Louis and Virginia. Additionally, 1,200 youngsters in Indi-ana, Louisiana, Las Vegas and Miamiparticipated in the BETWEEN THELIONS residencies, a supplementalliteracy program designed for young-sters in grades pre-K through 2.These programs, presented by Young

Audiences teaching artists, were de-veloped in association with the PBStelevision series “BETWEEN THELIONS.” We are most grateful to The Starr Foundation for the gener-ous support it has provided to sustainthe design and development of these programs over the past five years.

Also deserving special mention isMetLife Dance for Life, a project thatpromotes physical fitness and the joyof dance for students in grades K-12.More than 20,000 students partici-pated in these dance residencies,which were produced and presentedby 17 Young Audiences affiliatesthanks to the support of The MetLifeFoundation. We have distributed acolorful 20-page booklet document-ing the impact of the MetLife Dancefor Life project to the network andthe field.

Finally, this year Young Audiences’ 30affiliates presented new and continu-ing programs, professional develop-ment workshops for teachers andartists, artist showcases, advocacyevents and fund raisers. We invite youto review many of these programsand events in the Affiliate Highlightssection of this report.

On behalf of the entire board andstaff, we would like to thank all thosewho have generously supportedYoung Audiences Arts for Learningacross the country.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF YOUNG AUDIENCES, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Young Audiences’ FY 2009 financial statements reflect theorganization’s sound financial health and its long-standingcommitment to provide the highest quality programs andservices to Young Audiences affiliates while maintaining lowadministrative and fund-raising costs. Expenses for AffiliateProgram Services were 87 per cent of YAI’s budget overall;administrative and fund-raising expenses were seven per cent and six per cent respectively.

Several items are worth noting in order for the reader to understand the financial implications of the FY 2009 auditedreport. First, current accounting standards require that thefull value of multi-year grants must be included as revenue in the fiscal year that grant notifications are made. However,substantial expenses for carrying out these grants are notrecorded in YAI’s financial statements until the year in whichthey are expended.

In FY 2008 YAI received a grant of $2.25 million from TheStarr Foundation in support of Arts for Learning Lessons andResidencies. While the full value of the grant was recorded in

YAI’s FY 2008 financial statements, significant expenses forthe project (more than $1.4 million) were not incurred andrecorded until FY 2009.

A review of Young Audiences, Inc. annual reports over severalyears reveals that similar grants resulted in deficits in someyears that were offset by surpluses in other years. In each ofthese instances, the organization’s annual operating incomeand expenses on a cash basis was balanced, with neither a significant operating surplus nor a substantial operating deficitoccurring in any of the years affected.

In addition, this year FY 2009, the below average perform-ance in the marketable securities portion of the YAI Endow-ment Fund, resulted in a substantial loss in the end-of-year net assets of the organization.

If you would like additional information about YAI’s financialcondition or the accounting rules that determine how multi-year revenues and expenses are recorded and verified,please contact the Young Audiences, Inc. national office inNew York City.
