Community Engagment
We would be nothing without our community. Our mission is to encourage and educate our local area, not only through entertainment but by actively engaging one another through creative writing workshops and community partnerships with fellow organizations.
Project R.O.O.T. encourages both youth and adults to find their talents within themselves and to celebrate these talents within the community. Through interactive writing workshops, restorative conversations, and engaging experiences, participants gain the empowerment to establish (or root) themselves and activate their full potential.
