Kids on the Block puppeteers help children learn to value themselves and develop a healthy respect for all people, regardless of their physical, medical, social, or cultural differences. Our volunteer puppet troupe travels throughout San Diego city and county, performing
for school assemblies and community events.

Here's what some of our puppeteers have to say...

“The thing that interested me about Kids on the Block… — Kay |
| |
 |
“What interests me the most in being a puppeteer are the faces of the children that watch the puppets come alive. They love it. And they get something out of what the puppets are saying; something that an adult, or even another child, can’t give to them.” — Wendy | |
|
“I think my favorite thing about being a puppeteer is that we are about disability awareness. I have a brother who is disabled. I feel like when I’m performing I’m trying to teach the kids about living with disabilities. I feel like we really make an impact; even if we at least touch just one person in our audience, its worth all of it.” — Hilary |

— Don | |

“I’d never had any background in puppetry, but I was a big fan of Sesame Street… so I was very excited to learn the skills of puppetry. One of the great things about working with Kids on the Block is actually getting to learn a new skill and become a puppeteer.” — Susan |
