ALICE is a grassroots organization that teaches literacy, celebrates cultural diversity, and strengthens community through the arts. ALICE was founded on the principle that the arts are essential to every child's learning and that all children deserve an arts-integrated education-regardless of their racial, socio-economic, or ethnic background.
We serve over 3,000 elementary, middle and high school students throughout the Bay Area.
The ALICE Program addresses both English Language as well as Visual and Performing Arts standards issued by the state of California. Curriculum connections include Language Arts, History and Social Studies, Life Skills and Self-Esteem, and Multicultural Studies. ALICE works closely with other arts education providers, delivering high-quality residencies that will motivate your students to achieve.

Professional Development
ALICE provides training to educators on integrating the arts into the daily curriculum. Professional development is critical to ensuring the long-term viability of arts education for young people.
Story Circles
ALICE is offering a new Story Circle program for adults. Story circles can inspire and empower people through the telling of their own stories and listening to the stories of others. By helping people discover differences and similarities inside their own community, Story Circles can potentially empower change and facilitate the building of a healthier society. ALICE Performances
Through The Ancestor Project children perform their original plays in front of family and peers, taking education beyond the classroom and into their lives. Public performance is also a unique opportunity for schools to bring together culturally and socio-economically diverse communities.
ALICE Exhibits
ALICE sponsors public exhibits of children’s artwork and stories. In 2006, selections from the 2005 Ancestor Project were exhibited at the Oakland Unified School District Office of the Superintendent.
