We leverage the transformational power of improv to advance social justice in San Diego.

Our group of improv “JEDIs” (justice, equity, and diversity through improv) bring the principles and practices of improvisation to people beyond the traditional improv comedy theater, focusing on those most in need of more connection, courage, and communication skills.

Our main goals are to:

  • Help leaders of non-profit organizations be more effective through free or low-cost improv team-building and leadership programs.
  • Bring improv to San Diego’s most vulnerable, especially teens and young adults, to help them develop skills, confidence, and social capital.

Staff Development For Social Service Organizations

We’re looking for amazing non-profits in the social services sector that we can help make even more amazing!

Your staff deserves a fun team-building that will reduce stress while increasing trust, support, & communication.

What could your organization use?

We provide proven and effective improv workshops that reinvigorate teams and help them to communicate better, build confidence, and access creative problem solving…

all at little to no cost to your organization!
