Educator Resources

As an educator, your goal is to inspire youth through enriching experiences.

Education Outreach is here to help. With access to community resources, funding support and networking opportunities, we can help you start a new group, expand an existing program, or reach new student audiences. We also support fundraising efforts through ticket donations and help offset production costs by advertising in your playbill or program.

Choose the type of support you need below, or contact Program Manager Kai Tepper at kai@sbbowl.com or 805-308-9787 to learn more about how Education Outreach can support your youth program.
