Lao Arts and Culture Collective

Support the Lao Arts & Culture Summer Camp!

The Lao Arts and Culture Collective (LACC) is committed to preserving and promoting Lao heritage in Minnesota. Through initiatives like the Lao Arts & Culture Summer Camp, we aim to empower youth, celebrate culture, and strengthen community bonds.

The Lao Arts & Culture Summer Camp is a transformative program designed to preserve Lao heritage while empowering the next generation. Through engaging workshops, cultural performances, and mentorship from Lao elders and community leaders, youth gain invaluable knowledge and pride in their identity. Your support will help us bring this enriching experience to Lao youth in Minnesota.

This camp is a vital opportunity to:

1. Preserve Lao Heritage: Teach youth about traditional arts, music, dance, and history.
2. Empower the Next Generation: Help participants build pride, confidence, and leadership skills.
3. Bridge Generations: Connect youth with elders and cultural ambassadors to ensure traditions are passed down.
4. Strengthen Community: Create a space to celebrate and share Lao culture with Minnesotans.

Your support will make a tangible impact by helping us:

1. Provide scholarships for students facing financial barriers.
2. Supply materials for hands-on workshops and cultural activities.
3. Fund stipends for cultural ambassadors, guest speakers, and workshop leaders.
4. Support a community showcase where participants proudly share what they’ve learned.

Every contribution empowers Lao youth to embrace their heritage and ensures Lao culture continues to thrive.
