City at Peace (CAP) is a youth development program, which provides a safe, collaborative, and nurturing space for young people to examine systems of oppression that marginalize based on race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexuality, and values. Rooted in social justice, City at Peace uses performing arts as a learning tool to develop skills in dance, theatre, voice, and stage production, as well as skills in conflict resolution, personal storytelling, empathy, understanding, and leadership. Based on their experiences, City at Peace participants will create an artistic production that shares their ideas for change in a performance.
