By: Dr. Kirkpatrick Williams

Volunteers for Youth Justice has been selected as the official beneficiary of Artport 2025, the annual arts festival held in Shreveport-Bossier. This partnership highlights the festival’s commitment to supporting community organizations that make a meaningful impact in the region.

Artport 2025, known for showcasing local and regional artists through exhibitions, performances, and interactive installations, will donate a portion of its proceeds to Volunteers for Youth Justice. The organization is dedicated to providing mentorship, resources, and support to at-risk youth, aiming to reduce juvenile delinquency and promote positive development.

Festival organizers expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, noting that the cause aligns with Artport’s mission to enrich the cultural and social fabric of the community. By directing funds and attention to Volunteers for Youth Justice, the festival hopes to raise awareness of youth issues and encourage greater community involvement.

Volunteers for Youth Justice representatives said the partnership will help expand their programs and outreach efforts, enabling them to serve more young people in need. They also plan to engage with the festival’s attendees through workshops and presentations during Artport, further strengthening the connection between art and social impact.

Artport 2025 is scheduled to take place later this summer across multiple venues in Shreveport-Bossier, promising a vibrant celebration of creativity while fostering meaningful community support through this new partnership.
