Review for California Shakespeare Theater, Berkeley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I spent this past summer working as an Artistic Learning intern with this company. It was by far the best work experience I have ever had. Their respect for young people and arts education is incredible. They offer amazing summer programs as well as residency programs in the classrooms of local schools. This organization helps learning of all ages and backgrounds. Cal Shakes shows how important arts education is daily. Every day I spent there I felt that I was changing lives. I was given an education on how to educate and that is something that is invaluable. I cannot thank Cal Shakes enough for teaching me what my purpose is and providing students with opportunities of a lifetime.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

giving students confidence, goals and a sense of strength that is near impossible for most adolescents to find.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

watching troubled students become active and engaged with texts that are hundreds of years old.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

caring, intelligent, and leaders in their respective fields.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

change every student's life for the better by providing them with world class arts education.
