On this episode of Behind the Backstretch, we are focusing on Give for Good Louisville, the largest fundraising day of the year in the city! Taking place on September 12th, our focus for our fundraiser will be the arts programming at the BLC, specifically our work with artist Sara Noori and Fund for the Arts.
First, speak with Sara as she dives into her background, her work with us, and the growth she's seen with both children and adults during her time with us. We then talk with Merlin Cano, who is our early childhood assistant as she talks about her new role, how arts programming has positively impacted early childhood, and her experiences having her child involved in programming as well.
We talk with Youth Programs Manager Taylor Ohlmann as she talks about her work with our Front Runners after-school programming, how arts programming has impacted the teens at Front Runners, and the importance of these vital partnerships.
Finally, we talk with Adal Castellon, our Adult English Program Coordinator, as he talks about his new role with the BLC, his experience with adult programming, and the impact that Sara's art programming has had on his students.
