Boys and Girls Club of Southern Nevada staff partnered with local cultural organizations to provide access to structured art and cultural experiences across multiple locations in Southern Nevada. The activities involved various artistic forms, including visual arts, performing arts, digital arts, and applied arts. By integrating arts education into after-school programming, the program created a supportive and inclusive environment where youth in underserved communities developed skills, explored different cultures, and collaborated with their peers.
