Our mission is to create an innovative and dynamic therapeutic arts program community that engages and supports youth and their families. Room to Grow honors and welcomes all youth including those with diverse needs, LBGTQ2IA+folk, and individuals of all gender identity and expression.

We are dedicated to supporting children and youth in developing their social and emotional skills as well as life skills by delivering a series of courses and projects that integrate the arts with functional life skills, in a meaningful, purposeful way. The courses are designed to provide youth an opportunity to express their ideas and creativity both individually and in a group setting.

We believe in all children's ability to learn and giving a child space and room for their potential to grow.

It is essential we begin with the foundation of a safe, nurturing, environment, building a relationship with the child to develop their independence, confidence, and resilience. The arts provide a vehicle to express the child's ideas and responses to the environment they live in.

Our vision is to create an online therapeutic community that offers a safe space within the safety and comfort of home that supports all children and youth in building trust and gaining confidence before branching out to their community and world.

We wish to acknowledge the ancestral, traditional, and unceded Indigenous territories of the Coast Salish People, which we are uninvited guests on. In particular, we acknowledge and am in gratitude to Cowichan Tribes traditional territory.
