The purpose of the Jesters is to enhance quality of life for people with IDD by engaging them in the creative arts. The vision is to help people with IDD develop self-expression, self-esteem, socialization, and other life skills while providing learning opportunities to the USF community and the community at large. <\/p>\n<p>The Jesters program annually serves 150 people with IDD. Customized arts education activities include summer explorations, a core weekly academic-year program (September through March), training for other organizations, guest artist residencies, an improvisational group mentored by The Second City in Chicago, service learning for students, and community integration opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The Jesters program operated virtually in 2020-21, due to COVID-19 precautions. The program added a new goal: bridging the digital divide. The year culminated in the Jesters\u2019 first virtual performance and the traveling exhibit. USF plans to continue offering a hybrid Jesters program to include virtual components. <\/p>\n<p>Registration for the 2021-22 program year will begin in August. For more information, contact USF Creative Arts at 260-399-8064 or Jesters Director Allison Ballard at aballard@sf.edu. <\/p>\n<p>The Jesters program is made possible by the support of the AWS Foundation, The James Foundation, Inc., the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne, the M.E. Raker Foundation, the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the University of Saint Francis<\/strong><br \/>\nFounded in 1890 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition, the University of Saint Francis offers more than 60 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs through the College of Health Sciences, College of Arts, Sciences, and Business and College of Adult and Distance Education.
