Community art programs can help young people feel part of something bigger, but there are some challenges we need to work on:

• Accessibility: Not every young person can join art programs, which can make some feel left out.
• Cultural Barriers: Different backgrounds might cause confusion and stop some from joining in.
• Funding Issues: Many art projects have a hard time getting enough money, which makes it tough for them to keep going.

To help fix these problems, we can take a few steps:

• Increase Outreach: Make sure art programs reach all young people, especially those who don’t usually get involved.
• Culturally Relevant Projects: Create art activities that show and respect different cultures.
• Secure Funding: Work hard to get support from the government and private groups to help pay for art programs.
