The CSSSA Foundation helps provide immersive, pre-professional training to California’s high school artists. The four-week residential CSSSA summer program offers seven tracks of artistic learning: Animation, Film, Theater, Creative Writing, Dance, Music, and Visual Arts. Each summer, 500 students convene to improve their technical skills, work with cutting edge professionals, and prepare for academic and professional advancement.
The CSSSA Foundation supports students before, during, and after CSSSA by providing pre-session outreach, info sessions, masterclasses and post-session college access programming and scholarships. The Foundation is the home of CSSSA’s alumni network, uniting recent alums with seasoned arts and creative professionals and hosting events and programming throughout the state.
Golden Globe Foundation provides generous support to CSSSA’s Guest Artist Program, bringing industry professionals to the session for workshops and master classes. These include producers, actors, cinematographers, and animators who offer students mentorship and guidance in pursuing a career in film or television. Golden Globe Foundation also supports scholarships, outreach, recruiting, and DEI efforts to ensure all students have access to the CSSSA program.
