Outreach Program

At We Care Arts, we are dedicated to bringing the healing power and joy of creating art directly to our community through our Outreach Programming. We partner with local organizations to offer art classes that are designed to inspire creativity, foster connection, and promote well-being. For each class, we provide all necessary supplies, guide participants through the chosen project, and take care of all the cleanup, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

 

Our current outreach partners include:

  • Kettering Cancer Center
  • YWCA Dayton
  • Daybreak
  • Miracle Clubhouse

 

One of our key initiatives is the Transition to Work (TTW) Program, which offers 10 art projects over 10 weeks for Special Education programs in local school districts. This program is completely free for participants, thanks to generous grants and donations. If you're interested in learning more or becoming a part of our TTW Program, you can easily request more information by clicking the link below.
