The Learning Project created youth programs focusing on a growth mindset through step teams, leadership camps, and collaborative partnerships to increase students positive experience score.
Our Research
in 2015 we established the first social justice training in project based learning for early childhood educators in WA, State.
Our Solution
In response to the growing need for relevant training we built training and workshops to build a framework of hope to help educators better understand how the social determinates of health impact the communities we serve.
Our Research
Many communities experience health inequities because of their race, culture, identity or where they live.
Our Solution
We identify health equity strategies through in-person and virtual seminars, art exhibits and ceremonies that gather underserved communities. Our approach is unconventional to help build engagement through policy, community and the arts.
