HAVlife™ Johnson County believes in investing in youth so they may live a life full of potential. Study after study reveals music, art and athletics benefit social, behavioral and cognitive development in children. That’s why HAVlife™ works so hard to allow young students the opportunity to pursue their passions without limits!
