Back to School

At the Root helps you imagine, generate, and actualize your ideas for social change.

August 2021

Hi friends,

I’ve been so excited to share some updates with you that are in the final stages of redevelopment. AND in practicing intentionality, I had to do a reality check with myself: this is the time of year when I go back to school, and this year, back to the classroom after teaching remotely for 4 semesters. I am saving my focus for the beginning of the semester and I can't tell you how excited I am.

Please continue to stay tuned, and keep an eye on At the Root’s Instagram for information, memes, community resources, and words of encouragement.

Check out the photos and links below for some exciting local updates!

And keep your eyes open at the Art Hop for a participatory exhibit about building communities of care.

Be safe, be there for each other, be well.
