Ao1's LIFEGuard Program is a teen program that cultivates Leadership, Inspiration, Fellowship, and Excellence. LIFEGuards is available for all Ao1 students between the ages 13-18. LIFEGuards serve as teen leaders and volunteers throughout the session, from running auditions warm ups and rehearsal check in to serving as a stagehand during tech week and performances.
