Opening Doors
for Students
Arts and culture can transform young people’s lives, yet only 17% of our students receive the required music, art, dance, and theatre in NYC. We are here to change that.
As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, Situation Project has opened doors for 100,000+ underserved families, helping them grow and thrive through world-class arts and cultural experiences.

“It builds a unique confidence. I don't want them sitting in high school or college, feeling like less of a person because they've never seen a musical and can't talk about it.”
- Vincent Gassetto, Principal MS 343 X

Beyond the Classroom
When kids experience arts and culture, they thrive. However, many NYC-area public school students don’t have access to these opportunities due to inequities and cuts in budgets for arts. We’re here to change that by opening doors for kids through extraordinary experiences outside of the classroom.
Studies show that exposure to the arts can lead to positive outcomes, including:
Enhanced critical thinking skills
Improved mental health
Better understanding of other cultures
More likely to be civically engaged
Increased self-esteem
