Support Springfield Youth Performance Group

Springfield Youth Performance Group (SYPG) Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children through the performing arts.

Since 2005, SYPG has been encouraging and cultivating the artistic talents of youth in our community by giving them the opportunity to perform on stage with other children. Every child has a unique gift, and SYPG offers youth ages 7 years and older in Central Illinois the chance to explore and enhance their own talents.

We are a positive, nurturing, open organization that plants the seed for a life-long love of the arts, for both our performers and our audiences. The goal of excellence in stage performances, arts education, and youth-centered programming — all under the guidance of professional artists.

Our dancers participate in our community outreach programs such as a gross motor skills program for children with developmental delays called Mighty Movers; a special community outreach program that consists of beloved fairy tale princesses and child friendly characters that will visit children in a need of a smile due to a medical condition, The Smile Co; and cultivating the written and spoken word for children through Books on Stage.
