Generation WE Workshops
Generation WE provides thoughtfully designed workshops that bring children together from varying backgrounds, abilities and interests through art, sports and other creative mediums to explore our uniqueness and to learn about the power of storytelling. WE believe that empowering youth to share their personal stories and differences leads to awareness and connection. WE believe that by bringing kids together in a natural way over creative activities and sports, WE can create a sense of true belonging for all.
WE believe in the power of literature and importance of representation in literature, so every single child that attends our workshops is given time during the workshop to select a book of their choice from our robust collection.

Bringing kids together through large scale art to tell a collective story of community and belonging.
This workshop is a multi day, interactive opportunity for students to work closely with a professional muralist. This workshop pulls students together to work in community on a labor intensive, creative, and permanent reflection of their collective gifts and stories. Students spend time sharing about personal stories, hopes, fears and inspirations, then come together to create a mural design for either a wall or ground covering, and finally work to prep, paint and seal the mural. This is a wonderful workshop for schools and organizations that want to host a permanent reminder of their beautifully unique and diverse student body. Click HERE to learn more.
