Partner with us!

Acting Up Academy will partner with area education professionals who volunteer their time to help teach (mentor) our “at risk” youth about “The Arts”. Our focus is to teach and train youth to operate all of the above for one (1) year in preparation for the largest fundraiser of the organizations which is The Dunamis Gospel Award Show and The ACE Performing Arts Award Show. The youth will take what they have learned and apply these skills to operate the entire shows with the assistance of our education professionals. Our at hand goal is to simply secure funds to purchase equipment that will be used within the Academy to teach the youth hands on.
