Welcome
The National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award was the nation’s highest honor for after-school and out-of-school-time arts and humanities programs—also known as Creative Youth Development programs—that celebrated the creativity of America’s young people, particularly those from underserved communities. This award recognized and supported excellence in programs that open new pathways to learning, self-discovery, and achievement, from a wide range of urban and rural settings.
The National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards initiative was a signature program of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities™—in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services™—to showcase the excellence and importance of out-of-school-time, youth development-focused, arts and humanities programs in the lives of young people.
