The Youth Stage is a service-learning project managed by Polaris Expeditionary Learning School in Poudre School District.

The goal of the Youth Stage is for PSD students to perform popular music in the community with hopes to inspire original music, collaboration between PSD youth and prepare these young artists for professional musical opportunities.

The Polaris Youth Stage Crew learns all aspects of running a stage: setting up, sound engineering, lights and other special effects, booking talent, stage management, promotions, etc.

Funds for this project was awarded to Jasmine Faulkner, modern band teacher at Polaris, through a PSD School Innovation Grant for $20,000! Proceeds funded a trailer, equipment and mentoring by a local, professional sound engineer and musician, Dee Tyler.
