Dominic's civic pride and dedication to supporting youth in his community has also inspired him to create a talent development program that has helped to bring new Canadian talent to the world stage and screen, including Alanis Morissette, Polly Shannon, Stephanie Cadman and Meredith Henderson. Dominic's civic pride and dedication to supporting youth in his community has also inspired him to create a talent development program that has helped to bring new Canadian talent to the world stage and screen, including Alanis Morissette, Polly Shannon, Stephanie Cadman and Meredith Henderson. Founded in 1989, Dominic D'Arcy's "Rising Stars Program" develops and manages young performing artists from the greater Ottawa region and teaches them about the value of stage presence, practice, performance, prose and being ambassadors for their community (and in some cases their country). The "Rising Stars Program" guides young performers towards a career in entertainment, learning the challenges by experience and example along the way. By joining Dominic on stage, these early performances offer young talent an opportunity to use the stage as a springboard to the next steps in their career, under the mentorship of an experienced professional. In addition to the educational value, these young artists also benefit from exclusive opportunities to perform at a variety of local, national and international venues, which may include appearances on television, the theatrical stage or participating in recording sessions. Dominic is also the founder of the "Dominic D'Arcy Talent Development Foundation" which supports and provides funds for these rising stars to develop their art as well as assist them to find more long-term corporate sponsorship. Managed by the Community Foundation of Ottawa, all funds are invested back into the Ottawa community in support of social services (including projects for children, youth and seniors). Dominic has always encouraged young people -- and entire audiences alike -- to share his stage and he continues to spend much of his time showing others how to make their dreams come true. Dominic believes strongly in helping today's youth and in nurturing new talent to discover their potential and to give them the wings that they need to fly. While some of his "Rising Stars" have already found great success, others have learned valuable life skills towards becoming better citizens and better performers.
