Your previous support and donations will evolve what it means to be “a place to grow.” Now, we begin a project that will change the job opportunities and services available to the individuals we serve by allowing them to express themselves creatively, cultivate growth, and share their stories with the community through their work.
Welcome to the Root and Clay Initiative!
Through this initiative, Manahan will build a dedicated art studio and greenhouse on our campus to change and elevate the job services offered to those living with disabilities through the creative expression of art and the nurtured growth of plant life. The narrative around job creation for individuals with disabilities has focused on unseen, unheard tasks or mundane duties such as material destruction or cleaning.
We know, and they know, that they are capable of much more. We see the most success with goal achievement and personal development through creative services. Root and Clay offers a transformative approach by giving individuals paid roles emphasizing their creative expression, self-determination, and nurturing nature through the crafting of pottery and ceramics, as well as growing houseplants.
Donate now to help make a difference and allow us the ability to offer tools and build skills for artistic expression and growth for our individuals!
