What Young Singers does

Young Singers of the Palm Beaches (YSPB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community children's choir founded in 2003 and headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. The organization delivers tiered choral music education to approximately 350 core singers in grades 2-12 through seven performance choirs (Da Capo, Treble, Bel Canto, Encore, Cantate, Lyric, and Men's Choir) rehearsing and performing at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, supplemented by satellite choirs in Boynton Beach (South County) and North Palm Beach (North County), a free program serving six Belle Glade elementary schools (Choir in the Glades), and after-school choral programming at Title 1 schools throughout Palm Beach County reaching over 1,500 children annually through a partnership with Prime Time Palm Beach County.

Revenue is generated through four streams: tuition ($850 per singer plus a $75 registration fee) representing a fraction of true per-singer cost, government and foundation grants (Prime Time $248,949 for 2025-2026, Children's Services Council, State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs, Cultural Council, Community Foundation, Impact 100), donations and fundraising (annual 5K Walk/Run, Gift to Sing, song sponsorships, concert program advertising, Mr. Beary plush merchandise), and transactional performance fees ($250-$500 per booking, $25 concert videos). The organization is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Jene Williams-Rhoads and operationally led by Executive Director Melanee Blankstein, with Founder/Artistic Director D. Shawn Berry providing artistic direction. Need-based financial assistance ensures no child is turned away for inability to pay.
