Since 1955, Junior Players has been empowering young voices by providing high quality, arts programming to North Texas children and youth at no cost to our participants.
Too many youth are silenced because of realities outside of their control. Income, language proficiency and school district funding can limit their ability to believe in themselves. Junior Players exists to encourage, empower, and enrich the lives of North Texas children and youth with the skills and abilities to confidently express themselves at home, in school, and in their professional lives.
We actualize this purpose by providing high-quality arts education programs in partnership with local recreation and cultural centers, low-income housing developments, schools, and social service agencies serving youth in underserved communities across North Texas.
We provide innovative arts education programs to children and youth in North Texas and beyond and through these program, youth are transformed.
Our camps and afterschool programs are targeted to arts deserts - those areas that are underfunded and underserved. There, we engage children and youth through the arts, providing them with the tools they need to navigate real life challenges confidently and competently.
Junior Players is open and available to all. We are committed to providing safe spaces for child and youth to learn, explore, grow and engage with one other, with freedom from discrimination, harassment, or judgement.
The mission of Junior Players is to encourage intellectual growth, mental well-being and the development of life skills in youth through mentoring, creative expression, and participation in the fine arts.
