We genuinely feel that sponsoring SLAF is an investment in the future of our community. The arts are not only educational but also inspirational. Today's youth have the responsibility of leading this country and the world into the future. Through participation in visual and performing art programs, they learn attention to detail, decision-making skills, working with others, working under stress, making decisions, and much more. In addition, these skills are transferable and will prepare them for entry-level positions in many other careers.
