BENEFITS OF ARTS PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH

In a study conducted by the National Endowment for the Arts on at-risk youth, students involved in the performing arts, both in school and with structured community programs, have strong links to positive outcomes. Children who have the opportunity to engage in the fine arts are inclined to do better in academics, make better citizens, and choose a higher career path.
