Goodman Theatre’s Youth Arts Council (GYAC) is a dynamic leadership program where young Chicagoland artists use their passion for theatre to connect communities, amplify diverse voices, and inspire change. As ambassadors for the Goodman, GYAC members bridge the gap between their peers and the theatre, producing events that engage young audiences and spark meaningful conversations. Through collaboration, mentorship, and hands-on experience, they develop leadership skills while volunteering in their schools and communities.
