We're launching an exciting new Eco Leaders program for teens (ages 14-18) that combines hands-on environmental restoration projects with fun outdoor recreational activities. It's a great way to receive volunteer hours for school.  Limited spots, contact us for more info.

Join us in a multi-art creative workshop series this summer and explore the city of Niagara Falls through artistic reflection on public spaces.

  "Echoes and Reflections" is a workshop series that explores collective creativity through personal connections to space.  Guided through the lenses of creative writing, music, visual arts, and performing arts;  each workshop offers participants the opportunity to practice multiple arts and to discover meanings that are held in the spaces we experience.  Through the unique perspectives of each or the participants, the process begins to gather a collective creation drawn from several spaces in Niagara Falls.
