With Fauser's guidance, the Community School of the Arts has had a significant impact on the city of Marion and surrounding area. The school offers more than 100 classes to students from pre-school to senior citizens. Bringing in various Broadway and Hollywood stars, nationally renowned dance instructors, and recognized professional artists and cartoonists, the school instructors are encouraged to develop and grow with their students.
In addition to his leadership with the school, Fauser also created an annual fundraising event that involves more than 90 businesses with the common goal of providing art scholarships to students of the Community School of the Arts. Since its recent move to the downtown square, Community School for the Arts has literally transformed Marion's downtown at night. The facility is now viewed by community leaders as a recruitment tool for potential new businesses and residents.
Fauser also takes time to teach acting classes at a school for troubled students designed to help them build self-esteem and self-awareness beneficial to helping rebuild their families and school relationships.
