Think about the places that helped make you who you are.

A school.
A church.
A park.
A nonprofit.
A community organization.
A hometown.

Now imagine those places continuing to serve others for generations to come.
For many people, a will is about caring for family. For others, it's also an opportunity to support the community that gave so much to them.

Because some legacies aren't measured by what we leave behind.

They're measured by what continues because we were here.

What happens when you hand students the keys to the museum? 🎨

With support from the YES! Fund, The Museum of Art + Light gave seven Manhattan High School students the opportunity to create their own two-week professional exhibition.

Throughout the year-long program, students worked alongside museum staff to explore curation, exhibition design, marketing, technology, and visitor engagement, all while earning Career and Technical Education credit.

The experience gave students a chance to develop new skills, explore potential careers, and ultimately transform the gallery into a showcase of their own ideas and creativity.

Your gift to the YES! Fund helps create opportunities for local youth to discover what they're capable of. 💚
