You can now become a Founding Donor for Chrysalis by contributing to our initial Founding Donor Fundraising Campaign!
Our goal is to raise $20,000. We've currently raised close to $15,000.
After five years of developing our programming through Chrysalis Youth Theatre, under a non-profit sponsorship from Valley Church, we are thrilled to announce that we have now launched Chrysalis Arts Ministries, a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to helping young people blossom and thrive through nurturing creative arts learning experiences.
We are so excited to be starting back up at this critical time, as young people and communities in the Silicon Valley seek to re-start in-person learning after a year and a half of lockdowns and restrictions. We believe that our Chrysalis activities are ideally suited for the challenges facing the young people in our community at this time.
After three years of prayer and seeking God's direction, we are excited to announce that we have an exciting expansion plan that will both develop our initial ministries and also create new ministries -- including a long-term goal of creating a full-time learning program that we believe will completely transform the way young people learn and create in the Silicon Valley!
Beyond that is a whole other part of what we believe to be God's vision for this program, which we believe will lead to new Chrysalis programs that will serve students in communities well beyond the Bay Area!
We are planning to start with three initial arts ministries in our next phase of programming. This will include Chrysalis Youth Theatre, Chrysalis Arts Connections (online learning), and Chrysalis Arts Adventures (outreach experiences). We are also exploring the idea of creating a fourth ministry designed to help teens and young adults ages 16-25 as they transition from adolescence into the challenges and joys of college, professional careers, and leadership roles (including potentially growing into leadership roles right here at Chrysalis!).
Our goal is for our program to be largely financially self-sustaining for our core expenses, with ongoing financial support for scholarships, and larger-scale fundraising done here and there for specific needs. However, we will need your help initially with building up our finances to pay for startup costs, technical equipment to help our students shine their brightest, and help for our payroll as we work to build up our student base to the point where it can reliably sustain our hiring costs as we move from being a largely volunteer-run organization into one with a full-time staff (with all of the legally-required wages, benefits, etc). We also hope to eventually be able to build our own industry-changing learning and creation facility right here in the Silicon Valley, which is another big dream that we would love for you to partner with us on!

HEALTHY PRIORITIES - We prioritize the healthy development of each and every one of our students, and we shape all of our programming around this priority. When it comes to decisions between what is best for our students vs what is going to impress critics, audiences, and donors, we will do what is best for our students first and foremost. We believe that the highly competitive traditional youth theatre production model that naturally prioritizes public applause and the top 10% of students is unhealthy and based on flawed assumptions. We believe that each and every one of our students is capable of playing a lead role in our shows, and that every student deserves the same high level of training and opportunities, regardless of their talent level, training, or donations. We have proven over and over again that with careful decision-making and proper nurturing, it is possible to create great performances with small group sizes that provide EVERY student with adequate opportunities to learn, grow, thrive, and shine. Many students have come to Chrysalis and blossomed after being over-looked and under-rated elsewhere, and we are committed to continuing to provide these incredible opportunities for ALL students who participate in our programs. Come to Chrysalis and discover your true potential, in a place where your healthy development will be one of our highest priorities!
