Community programs extend the Apollo Theater Foundation’s commitment to enhancing the life of the community and further its mission as a community resource. Through a variety of programs designed to engage children, adults, schools, families, artists and community-based organizations the community outreach activities build on the Apollo’s rich history as a cultural and economic anchor to the greater Harlem community.

Family Programs combine fun and educational events with an opportunity to experience live performances at The Apollo Theater. Events include Holiday Celebrations of Kwanzaa and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; an annual African American History Month Celebration; and Family Night Out, free opportunities for economically challenged constituents to experience live cultural events and film screenings at the Theater.

Each year the Apollo participates in the New York State Martin Luther King, Jr. Literacy Initiative and the MLK, Jr. Canned Food Drive by collecting books and food donations and sponsoring events at the Theater to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
