Founded in 2006, TUTS' Leading Ladies began as a group of dynamic women who provide volunteer assistance and financial support to the organization as well as its education programs. Over the years, as TUTS has evolved, so has Leading Ladies. Today, this group of influential community leaders serve as ambassadors of musical theatre, pioneers of new works, and supporters of an arts education to all children, regardless of ability.
Throughout the program, students realize firsthand that they can thrive in a corporate environment and that pursuing a professional career can help them achieve a much higher standard of living than they are accustomed to. With this knowledge and continuous guidance from the Genesys Works staff, they significantly redefine their long-term goals and set plans to pursue them. In fact, over 95 percent of Genesys Works graduates enroll in college immediately after high school, and most are the first in their family to do so.
