We are expanding our Rise & Shine educational programs with funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, local cultural councils, foundations, and individual donors. These programs are in high demand and serve at-risk populations across the Cape. Our arts-based group workshops and one-on-one classes help individuals suffering from grief, trauma, complex learning challenges, and anxiety. Our mentors and educators are experienced professionals who provide much-needed assistance to these individuals during crucial times in their lives.

​

Our 2025 partnerships will include Cape Abilities, St. Joseph's House, the Latham School,  Alzheimer's Association of Cape Cod, Moving Forward, the Riverview School, and individuals introduced to the Center through the educators, parents, or corrections departments. With your support, we can continue to provide these programs to those who need them the most. Your donation makes a difference in someone’s life and we urge you to join us in our mission to help those in need.

 

“All week I so look forward to being here because it’s the only time I’m completely relaxed. It helps me so much.” Riverview Student
