Proviso Youth Services

We, the Youth Services Department, are thrilled to announce and introduce a new initiative called Proviso’s Got Talent, aiming to revive the spirit of talent within our community.

Proviso’s Got Talent will be a program that allows kids to express themselves through the arts. We believe we have amazingly gifted children, so making sure we push them to their fullest potential is by giving them an opportunity to showcase their talents.
