What is Time In?
Time In is a groundbreaking opera and visual arts initiative that for the past 14 years has been bringing some of New York’s youngest, most at-risk public school children out of underserved classrooms, and into the world of the living arts every week of the school year as part of their normal school day. Every child, every classroom. No exceptions.
A formidable advocate for educational change through artistic enrichment in under-resourced New York City communities, Time In is proud to have been a source of enlightenment and enrichment for more than 3000 deserving 3K-5th graders – as well as their classroom teachers and parent chaperones – since its debut. Working in a close partnership with some of the city’s most challenged public schools, Time In’s inspiring approach to an arts-centric education continues to bolster and transform communities where some of the country’s poorest children are subject to debilitating academic and social inequities.
Mission
The Time In Children’s Arts Initiative will transform the lives and learning of disadvantaged public school children, ensuring that equality, opportunity and access – to the arts and through the arts – become staples of public education.
Vision
Time In’s brilliant arts-immersive curriculum will change the face of education, transforming the lives of at-risk children and, as a result, the communities in which they live.

Values
Every child, regardless of socio-economic background is entitled to a thoughtfully crafted, arts-enriched education in which each individual child’s talents and needs are recognized, and the support for greater creativity, intelligence, self-esteem and a brighter, better future is more than just a promise.
