YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES
This page is dedicated to sharing job opportunities, free workshops, events, and much more for youth in foster care and aging out.
Sugar and Stone
The Candy Chronicles is a gritty and heartfelt Urban-Pop Rock musical featuring kids from the South Bronx. At its core is Carley, a sharp-witted young hustler with big dreams and even bigger responsibilities. To help her struggling family, she opens a candy shop in her neighborhood—a bright idea born of necessity. But behind the sweetness lies a bitter reality: Carley's family is grappling with their immigration status, while her middle sister, Mia, fights to stay healthy without reliable access to life-saving insulin.
As Carley hustles to keep the shop afloat, her older sister, Heaven, warns of the risks it brings. Heaven knows that in a city where they’ve survived by staying invisible, she would rather they remain as Shadows in the City. Tensions rise, but so does Carley’s determination. Amid the trials, failures, and disappointments the message is clear: no matter how difficult life can be, there’s always a light to chase.

The Possibility Project
The Possibility Project uses the performing arts to bring together diverse groups of young people to empower them to transform the negative forces in their lives and communities into positive action.
​
Each group works together to write an original musical from the stories of their lives and ideas for change, which they premiere Off-Broadway for four nights. We are currently looking for up to 20 young people in foster care to participate in this year's program!
​
Auditions for The Possibility Project's Foster Care Program are happening now! This program is open to any youth ages 15-21 who is or has been in foster care. No previous performing experience is necessary whatsoever, and no one is ever accepted on the basis of talent.
