We serve low income, under resourced communities, concentrating on Title 1 schools in Rhode Island’s core cities: Pawtucket, Central Falls & Providence.
We blend social emotional learning (SEL) with creativity and environmental education that focuses on three areas of development: Creativity, Self-Esteem and Civic Pride.
Since 2014 we have positively affected over 8000 urban youth, 90 percent of whom are from underserved communities.
