CSSSA alumni have become trailblazers, taste makers and visionaries in the arts, not just in California but across the country. The organization has a powerhouse Board of Directors, Board of Trustees and Advisory Board, all of which include CSSSA alumni and arts and entertainment industry leaders, philanthropists, arts education practitioners and policy makers. CSSSA changes lives by offering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities when young people need it most.
