Yesandia
We are thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Yesandia, an organization that we have been fortunate enough to support with a portion of our sales. We discovered Yesandia on social media when they put out a request for donations to help eliminate income barriers for students wishing to attend their summer improv camp, Camp Yesandia.
Yesandia is an improv group based in Eastern Iowa dedicated to providing students with opportunities to improve their communication, listening, and public speaking skills through performance and practice. Their vision extends beyond the classroom, aiming to equip students with quick and critical thinking skills for life beyond school.
Each summer, Yesandia hosts Camp Yesandia, a three-day camp where students practice improv, play camp games, and form new friendships. The camp culminates in a special showcase performance at CSPS Hall in Cedar Rapids. To date, they have proudly served over 20 schools and hosted students from 7 different states.
