Youth in Arts

The greatest gift we can give our children is the ability to express themselves! The Idaho Falls Youth Arts Centre is devoted to just that: teaching youth to express themselves through the many forms of performance art!

Events, classes, and workshops have been sponsored over the past 20+ years including Extravadance, after-school performing arts classes, audition workshops, technical theater training, beginning strings, and many more!

"IFYAC continues to put on high quality shows and mentorship opportunities!" The choirs, strings, dance, and summer theater programs are all 5-stars!!!

Here's what we do...

The Idaho Falls Youth Arts Centre provides quality opportunities for youth in the arts to enrich their lives through participation in music, dramatic arts and creative movement. The Idaho Falls Youth Arts Centre fosters a positive outlet for youth to build on their unique skills and talents. Through participation in choir, strings, musical theatre, artistic workshops, and dance through artistic growth and achievement, youth are empowered with a positive self-image that benefits the entire community.

How you can be a part of our family...

Idaho Falls Youth Arts Centre is an organization literally born within a community of volunteers. From the very beginning of the first Idaho Falls Little Theatre production to the inception of the Idaho Falls Youth Arts Centre, to today, volunteers have had, and continue to have, a vital and invaluable role at IFYAC. We are a diverse organization interested in volunteers with a wide variety of talents, skills, and willingness to educate and enrich the lives of youth through the performing arts.
