2025 Focus

Welcoming Week NWA 2025 will unite students, families, businesses, and community leaders across Northwest Arkansas to celebrate service, leadership, curiosity, and belonging.

Throughout September, events will be held at high schools, libraries, community centers and more throughout Northwest Arkansas. Programming will support high school students and their families to better understand the LEARNS Act’s new 75-hour community service graduation requirement while connecting them to community resources.
