Rehearsal for Life stands with our students and school partners more than ever as our nation continues to grapple with deadly gun violence that has no place in our schools or communities.  

We boldly reaffirm the healing power of the arts and commit ourselves to growing our SEL programs that foster creativity, community, empathy and inclusivity. 

Helping us to do this is a recent award of $100,000 from the Cummings Foundation’s $25 Million Grant Program. We are humbled and honored to steward these meaningful funds. 

As we collectively look to the summer, we want to take a moment to thank our community. And, Rehearsal for Life has a lot to be thankful for! We are fortunate to be a meaningful part of childrens’ lives. Thank you to everyone who has believed in our young people and the work we do. Let us continue this critical work together.
