Mission:
The Yip Harburg Foundation is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to spread Yip Harburg’s artistic legacy, aimed at creating a world of “free and equal people.” We stand on the beliefs of social justice, equal educational opportunity and learning through musical theatre
Thanks to the kind contribution of the Yip Harburg Foundation, the Urban Youth Initiative will be able to purchase material necessary to successfully launch our Girl Coding Project. UYI will be able to move up the start date of the pilot program, which will be facilitated in J.H.S. 125, a Bronx Middle School. Please stay tuned for results of this very important initiative. The results are available to be viewed on our Results page.
