| Sands renews partnership with NHI to develop leaders in Las Vegas |
Sands partnered with NHI in 2022 and has continued to support both our organization and the Las Vegas community ever since. The launch of the Las Vegas program represents a significant step in the relationship NHI has been building with the community. In 2017, Rancho High School in Las Vegas was named NHI’s High School of the Year, in part to honor the region’s developing relationship with NHI. Separately, Sands had identified NHI as a model program at the national level with success in communities across the country and began discussions with NHI to bring the program to Las Vegas. Today, Sands not only serves as a key partner in expanding NHI’s presence, but also provides scholarships for Las Vegas students to attend NHI programs and covers transportation costs for participants traveling to the California Sol Great Debate.
