Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Children & Youth, Civil Rights, Civil Rights, Social Action & Advocacy, Performing Arts, Youth Development
Mission: Through the power of the arts, Dreams of Hope provides the region’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, and allied (LGBTQA+) youth a welcoming environment to grow in confidence, express themselves, and develop as leaders.
Programs: theatriQ is our theater arts program and is comprised of lgbtq+ youth ages 13-26. Each season, young people collaborate with professional, working artists - playwrights, composers, choreographers, etc. - to create original productions addressing issues important to the youth in the ensemble.
speaQ is a regularly occurring community arts showcase and open stage program that provides queer and allied youth, ages 13-26, the opportunity to gather, socialize, and express themselves in a safe, comfortable space. speaQ is delivered in collaboration with various neighborhood organizations. speaQ is an opportunity for youth to develop their voice - or to just hangout and be themselves.
sQool uses the arts to increase visibility and foster dialogue on lgbtq+ topics in schools and community centers throughout the pittsburgh region. We offer in-school programs that connect dreams of hope teaching artists with classroom teachers to augment curriculum with arts practice and dialogue on queer themes in a manner that is aligned with common core standards. In partnership with in-school allies (ex: gsas), we also offer out-of-class programs, in youth-curated environments, to engage students in art creation and conversation on queer topics.
