Yet we are currently examining everyaspect of our business model for possiblereinvention. In this, our 56th year, we have

undertaken our first-ever, network-widestrategic planning initiative, with

implications for our programs, our national/affiliate interaction, and

our governance.

Why contemplate fixing something that isn’t broken?

Because the environment – from theschool system to federal guidelines to

American society to global competition –is changing so fast, so fundamentally, that

we risk irrelevance if we don’t keeppushing to be ahead of the curve.

At its root, the challenge Young Audiencesfaces is analogous to the one confronting

our educational system and our entirecountry. We are living in what the author

Thomas Friedman calls an increasingly flatworld. By that he means a world in whichhundreds of millions of people in placeslike China and India are able to competebecause of a rising middle class, moreprevalent education and instantaneous

Internet communication.

Young Audiences, measured by virtually anycriterion, is a remarkably successful enterprise. The largest organization in the arts-in-education

field, its 31 affiliates provide nearly 87,000programs to 7,000,000 children each year.

Chuck Vest, the former president of MIT,said recently, “The United States is stillthe most innovative nation on the planet,but we can only maintain that lead if weinvest in the people, the research thatenable it.” He went on to say, “Innovationis where creative thinking and practicalknow-how meet to do new things in newways and old things in new ways.”

At Young Audiences, we believe that wecan and must teach the creative thinkingthat is so crucial to fashioning a future ofinnovation for our children and our nation.

And it is by integrating the arts into oureducational system — in essence, byinstituting a culture of creativity — thatwe can do it.

In previous years we have discussed inthese pages the views that the arts areintrinsically valuable in their own right, or instrumentally valuable as a means ofteaching curricula. Like MIT’s Mr. Vest,best-selling business author Daniel Pinkoffers another compelling perspective:

The flat world is overflowing with students who cando the routine work of production, and do it muchmore cheaply than Americans can. How can ouryoung people and, by extension, our nation succeedin such an environment? The answer is throughcreativity and innovation. Our hope, our future lies in our being able to create the next new thing (think Internet, iPod and Google). Innovation is our competitive advantage.

“The arts are the antithesis of routine.

And what concerns me is that we have an

education system, particularly at the

elementary and secondary level, that is

being geared toward routines, right

answers, and standardization at

precisely the moment that

routine work spells demise.”

It is through pervasive exposure to the

arts that we will give our children a leg

up on achieving meaningful, successful

lives in a thriving, creative society.

This is why we are committed to providing

arts-enriched programs in, before and

after school; in libraries, camps,

community centers; programs for the

whole family as well as students.

In the next few pages, we give some

examples of how Young Audiences is

attempting to foster and nurture a culture

of creativity in the education of our

children and in our organization.

“There’s this methodology about math and sciencethat seems like kind of a routine, unartistic ability,

but the best mathematicians, the best scientists, thebest technologists, the best inventors make these

bold, artistic leaps of imagination.”

67,073One of our signature programs for cultivating creativethinking is Arts for Learning Lessons©, a ground-breaking supplemental literacy program that blends thecreativity and discipline of the arts with learning scienceto raise student achievement in reading and writing.

Based on the work of learning scientist

Dr. John Bransford, this program was initially

designed for use by grade 3-5 classroom

teachers, and is now being delivered by

Young Audiences and collaborating teachers

in grades 6-8 and grades 1-2, supporting

whole school participation and coordination

across grades.

In A4L Lessons, students work back and

forth in an integrated manner between

literacy instruction and arts-based activities,

strengthening their creative and critical

thinking skills while building and using

higher-level literacy capabilities that

align with state and local standards.

This year, to further strengthen literacy

learning while engaging students in the arts,

Young Audiences designed and implemented

text-based A4L Residencies, delivered by

trained teaching artists in cooperation

with the classroom teacher.

Residencies are either aligned with the A4L

Units for grades 1-8, or inspired by the Emmy

award-winning PBS series BETWEEN THE

LIONS® created by WGBH and Sirius

Thinking, Ltd., for children ages 4-7 (pre-K to

grade 2). Field tests of BETWEEN THE LIONS

Residencies in Oregon, Las Vegas, and New

Orleans began in December 2007 and

continued through spring 2008.

YOUNG AUDIENCES DELIVERED67,073 WORKSHOPS:

11

YOUNG AUDIENCES PROVIDED 3,244 TEACHERS’ SERVICES:

3,244As we did last year, Young Audiences again

commissioned independent studies by WestEd toassess the learning impact of Arts for LearningUnits. These studies reconfirmed that studentsexperiencing A4L Lessons showed a consistent

pattern of statistically significant improvement onliteracy assessments related to state and local

standards; significantly greater literacy learningthan comparison groups receiving only their

standard literacy curriculum; and markedly greaterinterest and engagement in A4L Lessons than in

their regular literacy curriculum.

We anticipate continued growth of Arts

for Learning in 2008-09, and expect to

at least double the number of Arts for

Learning Lessons and Residencies

delivered by the end of the year.

The Units also are being implemented in

after-school and summer programs.

Additional independent evaluations of

A4L will be forthcoming in 2008-09.

12

Another major success for Young Audiences thisyear has been the burgeoning popularity of theMetLife Dance for Life residencies. This year, 17 affiliates involved thousands of students in the program’s goal of inspiring young people toexperience the joy and physical benefits of dance.In addition, several affiliates have linked Dance forLife to areas of the core curriculum, includingintegration with the Arts for Learning program.Learn more about this and other Young Audiencesprograms in the Letter from the Chairman and in the Affiliate Highlights section.

YOUNG AUDIENCES HELPED 4,666 ARTISTS INSPIRE CHILDREN:

4,666Finally, as we mentioned above, Young Audiences has

been deeply involved in the process of pursuingcreative reinvention within our organization. It began

last year when we engaged the consulting firm of WolfBrown to survey our network. WolfBrowninterviewed National board members, affiliate

executive directors and board members, and YoungAudiences constituents to generate its

findings in a Use and Needs Study.

This report provides the basis for a long-

term strategic plan being prepared by the

Boston consulting firm TDC. Once again,

all the many interests and constituencies

in Young Audiences are contributing their

perspectives on what changes we need to

make to accomplish our mission in a

rapidly changing environment.

This is being accomplished through

in-person meetings at this year’s national

conferences, at regularly scheduled

committee meetings, via in-depth

interviews by phone, by establishing

a real-time blog open to the

Young Audiences network, and by special

affiliate and National Board retreats

devoted to key issues.

16

6,955YOUNG AUDIENCES REACHED

6,955 SCHOOLS:

Among the issues being studied:

> The balance between performance-demonstrations and workshops/residencies;

> The pursuit of more after-school, summer school or even adult art programs versus in-school programs;

> The relative merits of different growth models, such as merging with other organizations or instituting a national certification for artists;

> Implications for programming in expected changes to No Child Left Behind and a greater emphasis on creativity;

> New approaches to fund raising, marketing and other revenue streams.

TDC will help us hypothesize several

strategies that address our work and

these issues. Then we will test those

hypotheses both within and outside the

network. Based on how these strategies

resonate with our affiliates and our

constituents (teachers, educators, artists,

funders, and patrons), we will develop a

strategic plan for evolving Young

Audiences’ mission and programs.

19

7,000,000YOUNG AUDIENCES REACHED

7,000,000 CHILDREN:

This process is both exciting and daunting. It is not comfortable to question the way we dothings or to contemplate far-reaching changes.But that is precisely the artistic, as well as the

truly scientific, way forward. “Innovation iswhere creative thinking and practical know-how

meet to do new things in new ways and oldthings in new ways,” said MIT’s Chuck Vest.

We will continue to question, probe, test, and innovate, for our success and for the success of the children who depend on us.

It has been our privilege to continue serving Young Audiences Arts for Learning in its 56th

year. In 2008, seven million children across the country benefited from arts-in-education

programs that unlock their creative and inventive abilities and teach them how to

think conceptually.

The breadth and excellence of Young Audiences’ work shows in this year’s programmatic

accomplishments.

Heading the list is the success of Arts for Learning Lessons and Residencies, a literacy

program that enhances reading and writing skills in grades K-8 through the integration of

the arts into classroom lessons. A more detailed description of this program is given on

pages 8-11. Altogether, more than 5,400 students in 14 school districts across the

country received Arts for Learning Units or Residencies. The 11 affiliates participating

in the Lessons in the 2007-08 school year are: Indiana, Louisiana, Miami, New Jersey,

Northeast Texas, Northern California, Oregon, Rochester, San Diego, Virginia, and Wichita,

Kansas. Additionally, there was a pilot site in Las Vegas.

The success of Arts for Learning Lessons is backed by the unprecedented support Young

Audiences has received from The Starr Foundation. This spring, The Starr Foundation awarded

Young Audiences the largest grant in our history: $2.25 million to support Arts for Learning

Lessons and Residencies for the next 18 months. We thank The Starr Foundation for this

generous gift and its unwavering support for this groundbreaking project.

Associated with the development of Arts for Learning Lessons is the BETWEEN THE

LIONS® program, inaugurated this year with residencies involving about 570 students in

New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Portland, Oregon. BETWEEN THE LIONS Residencies provide

a supplemental literacy program for students in grades K-2, developed in collaboration

with the highly acclaimed, PBS television series “BETWEEN THE LIONS.”

This year Young Audiences affiliates had phenomenal success in enlisting school support

and the participation of thousands of students in the MetLife Dance for Life Residencies.

Participating in the third year of this program were 17 affiliates in Colorado, Houston,

Indiana, Kansas City, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Northern California,

Northeast Ohio, Northeast Texas, Oregon, Rochester, San Diego, St. Louis, Virginia and

Western New York.

Brooks ThomasChairman

In 2007-08 Young Audiences’ commitment to increase students’ knowledge and

engagement in the classical arts continued through the Classical Initiative project.

Six national grants were awarded this year to affiliates in Indiana, New Jersey, Northeast

Texas, Virginia, Northeast Ohio and Rochester. In addition to increasing the number

and caliber of classical programs presented to youngsters, the Classical Initiative also

promotes partnerships with schools and other community cultural organizations.

This year also was marked by several other important developments:

Thanks to the support of our affiliates, we drafted a new Affiliation Agreement that

reinforces the links between the National organization and all Young Audiences affiliates.

This Agreement, which replaces the document last amended in 1979, is intended to

advance the common arts-in-education goals of the organization.

Hand-in-hand with the Affiliation Agreement, we also embarked on an intensive planning

process through a comprehensive Use and Needs Study of the Young Audiences network

and the National organization. This study will enable us to form a solid base for Young

Audiences Arts for Learning as it moves into a more complex and meaningful

program of service to American education.

By providing innovative and high-quality arts-in-education programs for nearly six decades,

Young Audiences Arts for Learning continues to gain the respect and support of our

constituents, funders, the media, other arts educators and the general public.

Our organization is making an important investment in the cultural future of our country,

and drawing on the best artist educators available today to do it. The beneficiaries, of

course, are today’s youngsters and tomorrow’s citizens. On behalf of the National YA

board and staff, we would like to thank all those who have made Young Audiences’

aspirations a reality.

sponsored by CVS

Caremark Foundation.

Eastern Pennsylvania

Our organization has

undergone a comprehensive

restructuring over the last

year and a half, and in May

we welcomed a new executive

director, Aileen McCulloch. We

also developed a new program

called ARTS FOR PEACE to

address the rising violence in

schools served by YAEP. The

aim of program is to provide

art as a tool for students and

educators to express their

feelings in productive,

non-violent ways.

Houston

Our programs increased to

1,902 from 1,712 and reached

over 335,000 children and

school arts integration for the

Cleveland Metropolitan School

District, beginning with eight

schools this fall.

Northeast Texas

The number of students

participating in our programs

rose to 59,000 from 19,000

in 2006. We participated in

Arts for Learning Lessons,

a program that enhances

reading and writing skills in

grades 3-6 through integration

of the arts into classroom

lessons. We also piloted a

successful year-long

dance residency for 40

economically-disadvantaged

middle school students.

A grant from MetLife will

enable us to offer this

program to a second

middle school in 2009.

Northern California

We serve students, teachers,

and families throughout the

region, from Monterey

to Mendocino, from San

Francisco to the Central Valley.

This year, we continued to

build on our four-decade

tradition of partnering with

schools and community sites

to offer educationally sound

and artistically excellent arts-

education programs. Our

roster of over 100 professional

artists and ensembles

represents a diverse range

of art forms and cultural

traditions.

Oregon and SW Washington

We were one of three Young

Audiences sites selected to

pilot the new BETWEEN THE

LIONS® artist residencies.

During the residencies,

students learned about and

made art as they participated

in music, dance, visual art

and drama programs that

systematically reinforced

and extended their literacy

learning. Five hundred guests

attended our Mad Hot

Ballroom gala, which raised

$140,000. Twenty-four

thousand students from

100 schools participated in

the annual Run for the Arts

jog-a-thon, raising more than

$770,00 for arts-in-education

programs in their schools.

Rochester

Our 140 teaching artists

provided 825 performances,

2,565 workshops, and 144

residencies for 73,000

students in 211 schools.

The MetLife Dance for Life

performance and residency

project reached over 2,600

students. New York State

Council on the Arts and the

Wayne County Community

Fund supported a partnership

with the Newark, NY rural

school district to develop a

district-wide, arts-in-education

plan. We partnered with the

New York State Alliance for

#1 BOCES to sponsor

“Broadening the Circle,” a

workshop exploring arts

learning for students

with special needs.

San Diego

Our roster artists reached

54,000 students with 7,004

arts programs. We expanded

our district-wide programs in

National City and San Ysidro,

provided new residencies in

East County, and continued

South Bay Union’s after-school

programs at 12 sites. The

free Family Arts & Literacy

Connection series partnership

with The Salvation Army Kroc

Center served scores of

families and provided

classroom workshops for

nearby schools. We partnered

with San Diego Unified and

Rowan Elementary to

introduce the Arts for

Learning Lessons literacy

program to all six grades

at Rowan.

Santa Cruz County, AZ

Our The Arts…Bringing Life

To Learning project included

assembly programs, classroom

workshops, multi-day artist-in-

residence programs and

outreach programs for Santa

Cruz County pre-school

through 12th grade students

and educator professional

development workshops.

For a second year, we brought

electric violinist Mark Wood

to Nogales to work with 200

middle and high school string

and choir students. The

“Electrify Your Strings”

residency culminated in an

exhilarating community

event for over 600 people.

Southeast Texas

Although our Live at the

Library project was originally

aimed at preschoolers,

children have kept coming

back to participate as they

aged, thereby broadening

the scope and reach of

the program naturally.

Consequently, this year we

expanded Live at the Library

to include after-school and

summer reading programs.

Offerings like these enable us

to provide a vital link to the

arts for many children and

rural families in and around

Beaumont.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF YOUNG AUDIENCES, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Young Audiences’ FY 2008 financial statements reflect the organization’s sound financialhealth and its long-standing commitment to provide the highest quality programs andservices to YA affiliates while maintaining low administrative and fund-raising expenses.Expenses for Affiliate Program Services were 86 percent of YAI expenses overall;administrative and fund-raising expenses were 8 percent and 6 percent respectively.

Several items are worth noting. First, current accounting standards require that the full value of multi-year grants must be included as revenue in the fiscal year that grantnotifications are made. However, substantial expenses for carrying out these grants maynot be recorded in YAI’s financial statements until the year in which they are expended.

In FY ’08 YAI received a grant of $2.25 million from The Starr Foundation in support ofArts for Learning Lessons and Residencies. While the full value of the grant was recordedin FY ’08 financial statements, significant expenses for the project will not be incurredand recorded until FY ’09.

A review of Young Audiences, Inc. annual reports over several years reveals that similargrants resulted in deficits in some years which were offset by surpluses in other years. In each of these instances, the organization’s annual operating income and expenses on a cash basis was balanced, with neither a significant operating surplus nor a substantialoperating deficit occurring.

In addition, this year the below average performance in the marketable securities portionof the YAI Endowment Fund, resulted in a substantial loss in the end-of-year net assets of the organization.

If you would like additional information about YAI’s financial condition or the accountingrules which determine how multi-year revenues and expenses are recorded and verified,please contact the Young Audiences, Inc. national office.

to bring arts-in-education

programs to schoolchildren

in Missoula and rural

areas of Western Montana.

Western New York

Our teaching artists

conducted residencies that

tied a variety of arts into the

core curriculum for every

student from pre-K to grade 12

in Holley School District. The

Buffalo Teacher Center funded

residencies for 4th graders

about the Erie Canal, and

“Alphabet Awareness; The

Phonics Program” for the

youngest learners in 26 City

of Buffalo schools. In May,

we held our second annual

conference, “Arts Abilities:

A Vision for Inclusion,” for

and about arts integration for

special needs populations.

Woodruff Arts Center,

Atlanta

YAWAC conducted

approximately 4,000

programs in 51 Georgia

counties and two neighboring

states. Our residency

programs, Share the World

and smART stART, were

repeated with great success.

SHOWCASE 2007, which was

held at WAC, was featured

on the local Fox affiliate’s

morning TV show. In

collaboration with the

other WAC divisions, YAWAC

began planning TA101, an

initiative created to prepare

new and emerging teaching

artists. We hosted the 2008

Young Audiences National

Conference to rave reviews

and record attendance.
