Community Partnerships

South Shore Conservatory's mission is to provide access to quality education in the arts in the belief that the arts are vital to and an innate part of life. In order to fulfill this mission, the Community Partnership program provides greater access to arts instruction and enrichment, performances, and wellness, in partnership with schools, community centers, social service agencies and other organizations throughout the South Shore. Through this initiative, faculty members work with populations who may not ordinarily have the opportunity to experience the arts due to disabilities, distance, or financial considerations.
