The Story

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
-Nelson Mandela

Empowering STARS across Guatemala

When we started GAPA, we knew we wanted it to be a place where kids learned not only the art of live theatre, but also the art of serving others. This is how the STARS program was born: Sponsoring Theatre for the Advancement of Rural Students.

​

Our heart's desire is to make art accessible for everyone - regardless of where you look like or come from. This program connects rural students in Guatemala to the gift of the arts through monthly training, school supply drives, and arts education programs. But how can we provide this to these children?

​

That's where you come in.

​

When you sponsor a STAR student you are not only helping a child in need, but you are also helping fund our teachers, staff, and students who travel to these schools and ministries all across Guatemala to give arts education where there is none.

How It Works

1

CHOOSE A STAR

Every child on this list comes from either a rural community, or an inner-city family with a low socio-economic status. What they all have in common is a desire to be involved in arts education. Through our STARS program, they not only receive monthly arts education classes, but also school supplies, music lessons, dance classes, + more!

2

START YOUR SPONSORSHIP

Begin your monthly sponsorship by clicking "sponsor this STAR" below the child's name. You must notate the child's sponsorship number on the payment page.

3

GET CONNECTED

Every 3 months, updates are sent out about your STAR student. Read all about what they have been up to and how your sponsorship is making an impact in their life forever.
