JOY PROM Las Vegas is a full-scale, prom for teenagers and adult individuals with cognitive and physical impairments, where the Las Vegas community unites to celebrate every guest.
Guests are hosted complimentary and enjoy the evening alongside their peers in a safe, protected, and exciting environment. The JOY PROM Las Vegas experience empowers guests to be confident, builds self-esteem, inspires friendships, and fosters inclusion among all in attendance.
JOY PROM Las Vegas is an intentional opportunity to further the common good in society by uniting community and celebrating uniqueness. The universal thread tying everyone together is the reality that we are all more alike than different. This event breaks through previous stereotypes, shifts negative paradigms that have possibly been formed about those who are 'different than us', and reveals the JOY in selfless giving.
JOY PROM Las Vegas is facilitated by passionate Board and Committee Members who represent every sector of our Las Vegas community. These dedicated members are motivated to create an event executed with integrity and excellence, with the underlying goal of uniting community while celebrating uniqueness.
Prior to the event, JOY PROM Las Vegas provides an overview of the evening with a targeted training session for all the volunteers to present the flow of the evening, discuss the responsibilities as a volunteer, and most importantly promote compassionate sensitivity by recognizing the value of our differences while emphasizing our commonality.
Some of the supporters and volunteers of JOY PROM Las Vegas are parents of young children who have a disability. A particular parent said she would participate in this event every year until her daughter (a toddler at the time) was old enough to attend herself. The Board and Committee desire to ensure the legacy of JOY PROM Las Vegas in an effort to fulfill these types of dreams.
Now in our 10th year, that parent will experience the JOY of this event with her daughter as a guest.
