Fostering BYT through building community, raising funds to enhance experiences of all participants. Bellevue Youth Theatre Foundation's mission is to foster and support the Bellevue Youth Theatre program through increasing awareness, raising funds, and building community to enhance the experience of participants and audiences.

BYT actively works to dismantle barriers to access and participation by creating a safe and inclusive community in which everyone who auditions receives a role. In addition, BYT provides opportunities for all regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity or socio-economic status while also working to support neurodivergent and disabled participants.
