INSPIRED BY THE SOCIAL IMPACT EFFORTS OF THE 'ALL NEW' MICKEY MOUSE CLUB The 'All New' Mickey Mouse Club debuted in 1989. Much more than a variety show, it tackled important social issues of the day. And as a performing arts academy, it trained some of the biggest stars in the world including En Vogue's Rhona Bennett, Christina Aguilera, The Voice's Tony Lucca, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Chasen Hampton, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell, Hallmark Channel's Nikki DeLoach, and NSYNC's JC Chasez, among many others. Reunited Mouseketeers and more than 10,000 long-time fans helped launch Always In The Club Foundation and its MMC'89 Social Impact Initiative to support those who need it most through projects, programs, and outreach campaigns spearheaded by cast members of the now iconic show. OUR MISSION Inspired by the support that Mouseketeers received from Disney in their youth, our mission is to enhance the lives of young people through Arts Education and Mentoring, while empowering socially conscious efforts guided by the United Nations' 17 Global Goals for a better world by 2030. OUR PROGRAMS Youth Arts Education and Mentorship: Mouseketeers are lending their unique insights to support young people through arts education and mentoring - essential for social and emotional well-being, and critical tools for establishing equity and access. Our programs include sponsoring Experiential Learning opportunities at Disney Imagination Campus at Disney theme parks.
