Wonderroot is an amazing hybrid organization that empowers positive community development through the arts and civic participation. I was truly amazed to find such a diverse mix of people with various talents and interests together in the same place. The Wonderroot Community Arts center is a place where artists, children, students, mentors and various community groups can come together to produce art, learn about techniques and help one another make a positive impact on the community they live in. Wonderroot also does a tremendous amount of outreach, working with a plethora of community groups in order to maximize their positive impact on the community. I have personally been in the center and heard young artists talk about how they would have moved to New York or Boston had wonderroot not been there for them. I have also participated in outreach to under-served schools where wonderoot enlisted artists to go into the school and teach poetry workshops to fourth graders. Such an amazing organization. I encourage anyone with an interest in the arts or community building to stop in and check them out.
