Discover the New Joy!
For nine years Jorgensen has been inviting low-income children and young adults to arts events through the JOY! (Jorgensen Outreach for Youth) program.
Jorgensen's goal is to offer young people the opportunity to experience what the Arts do best: capture their imaginations and transport them to a world that can enrich, educate and enhance their lives.
This season Jorgensen, with the help of private contributors and corporate partners will begin expanding JOY! The new program will be phased in over the next three years to include:
- A continuation of free tickets for economically disadvantaged children of all ages;
- More public school programs with transportation assistance;
- In-school outreach and residency programs; and the implementation of:
- JOY! Conservatory Program in conjunction with the UConn Department of Music and the Community School of the Arts
JOY! would not be possible without the kind contributions of individuals and local businesses. Thanks to our JOY! benefactors, Jorgensen is able to share its performances with hundreds of youth who might not otherwise know the thrill of attending a world-class concert, an international dance performance or a children's theater presentation.
We would like to invite you to join us and share the JOY! by making a donation today. Help Jorgensen bring the universal language of the arts to deserving area children with your generous contribution.
Please contact Rodney Rock, Jorgensen Director if you have any questions regarding the program. Call 860-486-5225 or e-mail Rodney.rock@uconn.edu.
