The Stage Door Academy by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County is an organization that specializes in the education of youth in the visual and performing arts. The enrichment of our children in the visual and performing arts has benefits of improving the skills of acting, singing, dancing, painting, drawing and sculpting.

However, the most fundamental benefits of studying the fine arts are promoting creativity, gaining social skills by working in teams, building self-confidence and encouraging individuality in self-expression. We view these benefits as invaluable assets to mold children into becoming successful adults. bgclubsofkerncounty.org
