Support
Without in-kind and volunteer support, Young Shakespeare Workshop would have perished long ago.
Cash funding comes from individuals and these special funders listed below:
Special thanks this year to:
The Norcliffe Foundation for their support of residency work at Cleveland and Chief Sealth High Schools in 2011.
Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs for funding provided through Youth Arts and Civic Partners.

Our 2010 after-school project at Cleveland H.S. was made possible by funding provided by the National Endowment for the Arts through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Special thanks to the Norcliffe Foundation for their generous support of 2011 work at Cleveland and Sealth. Special thanks to the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs that helped YSW secure ARRA funding from the National Endowment for the Arts to make 2010 work at Cleveland, including Hamlet, possible. At Franklin H.S. in January we also presented a Sonnet Lecture/Workshop with the help of YSW alumni and current students in 2010 and again this year.
