“The showcase was more than an opportunity for students to display their talent — it was a moment for them to shine, build confidence, and share their voices with family, friends, and the community. Each performance and photo represented hours of learning, teamwork, and self-discovery.
“Before this program, I was shy about showing my work,” shared one student. “Now I feel proud to tell my story and show people what I can do.”
The James R. Foundation of the arts in collaboration with community members, enriches the quality of life for youth (ages 14 to 20) by providing a safe and educational environment where participants are inspired and encouraged toward a better future.
