ANCY\u00a0has been instrumental<\/span> in getting small pockets of funding for the arts sector for children and youth (\u00a0for example: ArtReach Toronto.) It has numerous active collaborative partnerships. ANCY sits on several national and provincial boards where it shares reports about what’s happening in the sector; the challenges, as well as progress. ANCY reaches politicians, elected officials, and policy staff.\u00a0 It networks people so that they can connect with and mentor each other within the sector.\u00a0 Reports and case studies can be found on the ANCY website.<\/p>\n

ANCY’s\u00a0outreach mandate<\/span> is to source resources in order \u00a0for children and youth to get more access to arts at the local level. It also seeks to facilitate greater awareness in the field.\u00a0As an\u00a0established\u00a0community art\u00a0resource with years of knowledge and experience, it is\u00a0interested\u00a0in partnering<\/span> or doing outreach with other community arts projects\/programs\/organizations\/resources.\u00a0ANCY’s catchment area<\/span> is\u00a0national in scope.\u00a0\u00a0It \u00a0actively contributes<\/span> at forums, conferences, round tables and meetings both federally and provincially.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ANCY’s\u00a0goals<\/span> this year<\/span> are: strengthening their staff base, increasing community development, and working with funders to build a broader funding base for arts programming within the sector. Additionally,\u00a0their greatest goal<\/span> is\u00a0to complete their policy document\/ tool kit. It explains the \u00ab\u00a0what, why, how\u00a0\u00bb for the children’s and youths arts sector. It contains research on infrastructure and program examples, \u00a0staffing requirements (skills and training), as well as case studies. It is intended to be a tool kit for local communities and provinces that\u00a0 want to move in this direction. \u00a0ANCY is also are planning to establish a forum to exchange information and share stories.\u00a0 It could use some support with additional resources\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0to move forward and do the work.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

ANCY’s language <\/span>of service is predominantly\u00a0English (some French.)\u00a0It serves\/works with <\/span>children and youth from ages 3-30.\u00a0It\u00a0has offices in Tillsonburg and Toronto, Ontario.\u00a0\u00a0ANCY has\u00a0a\u00a0board of directors.\u00a0It has\u00a01 full time\u00a0staff<\/span>,\u00a0part time contract staff are employed as needed and as funding allows. \u00a0All arts disciplines<\/span> are represented.<\/p>\n
