Some kids just need one person to believe in them.

At Plaza Academy, we give Kansas City's at-risk teens a safe place to heal, grow, and discover what they're capable of. As an accredited nonprofit therapeutic alternative high school, we provide life-changing education and support for students who haven't found success in traditional schools. Every year, generous donors help provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition assistance, making Plaza Academy possible for students and families who need us most.

Now it's your turn to make a difference.

Grab your friends, dress up, cheer, laugh, bid, donate, and celebrate with us—all while helping students rewrite their futures. Every ticket, sponsorship, auction bid, and gift expands opportunities for teens who deserve a chance to thrive.

Come for the party. Leave knowing you changed a life.

Together, we can empower more students for lifelong success. Learn more at https://www.plazaacademy.org/.
