This month, NAGLY’s Youth Steering Committee challenged our Language Arts Lab to create a poster celebrating more than two years of creativity, growth, and dedication.

It was wonderful to see our youth take the lead on this project, documenting the activities, achievements, members, creativity, and history that have shaped the program. Their work captured not only the spirit of the Language Arts Lab but also the imagination and individuality that make it so special.

Working alongside these young people continues to be an incredible privilege. Watching them develop new skills, build confidence, and grow as creators and leaders is truly inspiring.

Thanks to the generous support of Education Comes First, we are able to provide a learning environment that meets youth where they are, nurtures their creativity, and helps them develop skills that will last a lifetime.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to offer this program and excited to see it continue to thrive and grow. Thank you, Education Comes First, for making this work possible.
