It's Your City: Guest Miya MacKenzie discusses Hop and Mae Adams Foundation programs
This week's It's Your City with Cortney Bloomer features guest Miya MacKenzie, chief professional officer with the Hop & Mae Adams Foundation in Carson City.
Among the new programs and services in Carson City made possible through the foundation include the New Entrepreneur Network. This pilot program began in spring at Carson High School, Pioneer High and the Carson City Juvenile Probation Department. Jeff Glass is executive director of the program.
During the summer, the network was then fully developed in a partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Nevada. It was a joint idea created together for the youth of Carson City.
In the fall the program returned to Carson High school, Juvenile Probation. Beginning in January there will be similar programs launched at Carson Middle School and Eagle Valley Middle School. Go here for more information about the program.
For decades, the Carson Nugget Casino in the heart of downtown Carson City was owned and managed by Hop & Mae Adams. Preceded in death by her husband and without surviving heirs, it was Mae Adams’s vivid dream to see the benefits of her family’s work be protected, preserved and set aside specifically for the benefit of Carson City.
The Mae B. Adams Trust, owner of the Nugget Casino, set up the Hop & Mae Adams Foundation in her honor and to fulfill her vision of helping Carson City by providing educational opportunities, economic improvement and community engagement in a variety of forms. Go here for more information.
