The Giving Store

The Giving Store in Henderson, located at 274 E Lake Mead Pkwy, zip code 89015, is a nonprofit thrift store that runs a youth volunteer and leadership program for ages 5 to 18. The age range splits into two brackets, 5 to 12 and 13 to 18, so both younger kids and teens have a place in the program.

Programs offered include a Youth Volunteer Program, Youth Entrepreneurship Workshops, Community Outreach Projects, and a Leadership Development Series. Rather than a typical class-based format, the model here is experiential: kids and teens work inside a functioning retail thrift store, which the listing describes as offering skill development and experiential learning alongside community service opportunities in a described safe environment.

Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The store is closed Monday and Sunday. The program runs year-round rather than on a seasonal or school-term schedule, so families can plug in volunteer hours across the calendar year rather than only during summer or holiday breaks, which is useful for teens who need ongoing service hours for school requirements.

There is no cost listed to participate, as the price range is marked Free. For questions about signing a child up for the volunteer program or entrepreneurship workshops, the store can be reached at (702) 565-4483, and a website is also listed with more information about current projects and workshop schedules.

No scholarship program beyond the free structure is noted, and no special needs accommodation details are included in this record. For a family looking for something more hands-on than a typical after-school activity, the combination of retail volunteering with entrepreneurship and leadership workshops gives teens in particular some resume-building experience that's harder to find in a standard youth group setting, while younger kids can start with simpler community outreach projects.
