Maya has been acting, singing, and dancing since she was 8 years old. From this early age, she determined her “calling” was to work in the entertainment industry. Through her professional training and artistic experiences, Maya has seen firsthand the power of the performing arts. She aspires to make a difference by providing equal access to professional arts education, especially for those who are extremely talented but don’t have the financial resources to pay for training. In 2016, Maya created HeARTS of Maya, a non-profit organization that provides educational scholarships to youth who want to pursue the arts. To learn more about Maya, go to mayaixtadelgado.com

Our mission is to share Maya's love of the arts by providing educational scholarships to youth in financial need who demonstrate a passion for music, acting, and/or dance.

Numerous studies have revealed that the performing arts inspire, motivate and educate today's youth in a variety of ways. Evidence from national and international arts programs suggest that the arts promote social and emotional strengths that lead to higher academic achievement, positive behaviors, and collaborative relationships.

Through this foundation, Maya hopes to not only assist talented youth, but also encourage others to “Find the ART in their HeARTS.”
