Soundstage.edu

Today, VAD's Mike DeJoin is finally putting a name and a flag in the ground for something that has been quietly growing for a long time.

SoundstageEDU is officially live.

What started as a few honest conversations about arts education, volunteer burnout, and leadership behind the scenes has grown into a community-first platform designed to support the people who support students.

This isn’t about fixing people.

It’s about fixing systems.

It’s about giving language, tools, and support to:
🎭 Arts educators
🥁 Program leaders
🎺 Booster boards
🤝 Volunteers who carry more than most people realize

SoundstageEDU exists to protect the human side of the arts — and the nonprofits and communities that surround them.

If this work resonates, I invite you to explore, share, or simply know that this resource now exists when your community needs it.

This is just the beginning — and I’m grateful for everyone who helped get it here.
💙
— Mike
