Review for Central Pa Youth Ballet, Carlisle, PA, USA
I have volunteered with the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet for the past nine years and witnessed the impact of its training and education on their graduates who go on to successful business, academic and artistic careers. CPYB is the cultural gem of the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania region. As an artistic non-profit, it has provided training in classical ballet to over 21,000 students since its founding in 1955. One recent blog rated CPYB as the fifth best school of ballet in the world. CPYB contributes over 15 million dollars in economic impact to our region and allots over a quarter million dollars of its budget in scholarship assistance for designated students. The school is now seeking funds to support talented inner city children to pursue training at CPYB. The mission of CPYB is to enrich the lives of students through training and cultural education that bridges economic disparity. This is a noble and vital mission that can reach across social barriers to bring people together. In these contentious times, such a purpose is too important to ignore
