Youth Around the World Festival

On Saturday, August 19th AHC hosted a Youth Around the World Event! The event was intended for youth to celebrate the end of summer in a fun and multicultural way. The short evening program highlighted youth talent that showcased their unique culture, as well as games and activities to get the youth interacting in a fun and meaningful way. This event was an opportunity for youth to get to know other youth programs that AHC had to offer, so there were different tables and booths that promoted AHC's various clubs/programs. The snacks and food were a great addition to the event because it brought the different groups of youth together. Overall, youth really enjoyed this event because of the games and activities, food, and atmosphere. They hope to come to more events like this where they can showcase their talent, learn about others' culture and heritage, and play games with one another. See pictures from this event below!
