Community Partners
The Kennedy Center's Social Impact Community Partnership program is a one-year commitment, involving a wide variety of presentation and community engagement opportunities throughout the Kennedy Center. This Community Partnership program intersects with the Social Impact’s five pillars of community empowerment, artist empowerment, impact performance, cultural leadership, and REACH activation. Community Partners will meet/convene to facilitate discussion and pre-planning for the seeding of two community-based touchstone programs with Social Impact and other Programming departments at the Kennedy Center (including Dance, Theater, Jazz, Comedy, International Programs, and Hip Hop Culture and Contemporary Music). Touchstones could include, but not be limited to, the following: artist workshop/masterclass, panel discussions, performance/presentation, and/or film screening at the REACH with the respective programming department. Additionally, Community Partners are eligible to participate in one existing Social Impact program such as: Millennium Stage, Office Hours, Local Theater Residency, or Dance Sanctuaries.
