Grow with the Tree
This is your opportunity to grow with our Members & bring a day of enrichment to our day program!
Examples include photography lessons, gardening, musical instrument lessons, yoga, cooking, dance class, and so much more.
If you’ve got a skill or passion, we’ve got a community of talented individuals ready to learn & grow with you.
One lesson would be a 2-4 hour block of service – reach out to us if you are interested in a more long-term program.
