Overview
The Arts & Learning Conservatory (ALC) is a nonprofit arts education organization
committed to delivering high -quality performing arts and music education to our
elementary students across diverse backgrounds currently in 50 schools throughout
Orange County. Based in Southern California, ALC offers year-round classes, camps, and
performance opportunities in theater, music, and dance, all led by experienced
professionals in the arts.
Founded by Debora Wondercheck, an accomplished musician and educator, ALC was
created to empower young people through the arts, nurturing their creativity,
self-expression, and confidence while promoting academic and social growth.

directly to students.

structured environment.
Dance Education: Classes that explore multiple dance styles and encourage physical
expression and discipline.
Theater Productions: Full-scale musicals and plays for youth, complete with
professional sets, costumes, and lighting.
Seasonal Camps & Intensives: Summer, spring, and winter programs focused on fun,
creativity, and rapid skill -building.

The Arts & Learning Conservatory Is more than an arts program —it's a place where

Fundraising Needs
The Arts & Learning Conservatory (ALC) relies on community support to sustain and expand its
mission of making high -quality performing arts education accessible to all youth, regardless of
financial background. While tuition and program fees cover a portion of costs, over 60% of

through school and community partnerships.
Fundraising is essential to:
• Provide scholarships

Every dollar raised helps unlock creativity, confidence, and opportunity for the next generation
of artists and leaders.
