The Broward Center for the Performing Arts recently honored the 10th graduating class of the Broward Center Teen Ambassador program from area high schools and home schooling programs.
With theaters dark, the students concluded the program by reviewing streaming performances of Broadway, classical, dance, opera, and jazz remotely. The final meeting of the season was held via ZOOM where students gathered to look back on the year, share memories, and hear the graduating seniors share their future plans.
The Teen Ambassador program fosters the next generation of performing arts fans and nurtures a fresh perspective on traditional and contemporary arts. Acting as in-house theater critics, they demonstrate a dedication to both the performing arts and writing. The students also earn community service hours through the program.
Public, private, and home-schooled high school students residing in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties are eligible to participate in the Teen Ambassador program. The deadline to apply for the 2020-2021 class is August 28. Applications are available now at BrowardCenter.org/ education/studentprograms/teen- ambassadors.
