Careers in the Arts
Launched during the pandemic in response to the reported isolation and disengagement experienced by high school students, Sing for Hope’s Careers in the Arts series is an online resource that brings students directly into conversation with arts leaders via Zoom. Focusing on a variety of creative industry paths, Careers in the Arts guests have included Rwandan women’s drumming ensemble Ingoma Nshya, Broadway star Kimberly Marable, the production team of The Drew Barrymore Show, and other leading creative practitioners.
Program Highlights
- The program has reached over 2,000 students from cities across the United States (the majority of them Title I and/or from under-resourced schools) and has employed artists across a broad range of creative disciplines including music, theater, television production, visual art, stage management, and lighting design.
- This international program also serves Sing for Hope students at Shanti Bhavan in India

Testimonials
"What Sing for Hope provides—there is nothing else like it for children like Talia, whose families can’t afford acting or music lessons. I have always dreamed of taking Talia to a Broadway show. Now, the show comes to her, right here in our community and online, and she is learning all the paths lie open to her."
