Prairies Youth Center hosts Lights on Afterschool event

Lights on Afterschool helps to promote the effectiveness of afterschool programs and to showcase youth’s talents from the programs offered at the centers by displaying student’s art work.

During the event, there were also awards handed out, and one was presented to Julian Smith-Custer for winning the Awareness Poster Contest.

The Awareness Poster Contest challenged youth to create a poster promoting various awareness topics of the month.

The afterschool program staff of the Prairies Youth Center said the program is dedicated to making sure that civilian and military youth in the surrounding area are provided with the right tools to improve their skills and abilities in their communities and in their future.
