OC Next Act - Youth Ambassador Program (YAP) 2024

The OC Next Act Youth Ambassador Program (YAP) was developed in March 2024, during the Lion King Jr. Musical Theater production. Founded by Nica Kelly and organized with Raina Czapski, YAP aims to cultivate exceptional performers who embody respect, attentiveness, and kindness. After its inception, the YAP committee, grades 6th-12th, was established to further support and guide the program's development. By fostering a positive and supportive environment, YAP empowers its members to become exemplary role models within the arts community.

In 2022, the Winter Olics Ice Blocking event featured an array of exciting activities, including cardboard car races, ice blocking, and Olympic-style relay games.
