National Youth and Education Trust

The National Youth and Education Trust is the primary resource for youth and education funding at the National Arts Centre. Supporters of the Trust help the National Arts Centre pursue priority initiatives through the performing arts that nurture and develop the creativity of young people in all regions across Canada, and support the educators and artists who challenge and encourage them.

The National Youth and Education Trust funds such programs as masterclasses, internships, and training programs for emerging artists, as well as student matinees, open rehearsals, and subsidized tickets to build young audiences. It also helps provide key resources to teachers, including resource kits, teacher information nights, and online tools (ArtsAlive.ca).

The National Youth and Education Trust is supported by Lead Partner CIBC, Astral Radio, Michael Potter, supporters and patrons of the annual NAC Gala and the donors of the NAC Foundation’s Corporate Circle and Donors’ Circle. Contributions to the National Youth and Education Trust are welcome. Join the NAC Foundation’s Donors’ Circle today. Call 343 588-1340 or visit nacfoundation.ca.
