THIS IS WHY IT WORKS
Your students are growing up in a world that’s asking more of them than ever. We built this tour around what actually reaches them: real people, real conversations, and the arts as a bridge to purpose.
THE RESEARCH BEHIND THE TOUR
“By 2025, Gen Z is poised to represent 27% of the workforce — yet missed work and lost productivity already cost the U.S. economy over $47 billion each year.”
Business Insider, 2023
“Gen Z — the fastest-growing employee demographic — feels particularly lost, even though those employees stand to benefit the most from learning and career development opportunities.”
New York Post, 2024
“70% of Millennials and Gen Z workers feel unprepared for the future of work.”
Forbes, 2022
THE CASE FOR ARTS AND ACCESS
“Over the past decade, two in five young adults ages 18–24 (42%) cited a mental health problem as their primary health issue between 2020 and 2023.”
New York Post, 2024“65% of global educators identify arts integration as a top priority — and students involved in the arts are more likely to earn higher GPAs and SAT scores.”
Lindner, 2023“Low-income students highly engaged in the arts are twice as likely to graduate college — yet Black and Hispanic students earn 30% and 25% fewer arts credits than their White peers.”
