The history of community involvement and support by Local One is both rich and diverse.
Many organizations in the theatre district itself and throughout the jurisdiction are strongly supported by Local One.
Many Local One Brothers and Sisters, participate in a joint venture between The Roundabout Theatre Company and IATSE Training and Education Department instructing students who wish to have a career in professional theater. They participate in Hidden Career Days, Mentoring Programs and various training days.
The Actors Fund, which provides social services for all those in the entertainment industry, has partnered with Local One in terms of services for the membership and their families and, in return, Local One supports The Actors Fund throughout the year. President James J. Claffey, Jr. is the first Local One President to sit on The Actors Fund Board of Trustees and Recording-Corresponding Secretary Robert C. Score serves on The Actors Fund National Board of Advisors and the newly formed Senior Needs Committee.
