Collaborating organizations
Take Root collaborates with a variety of organizations to Help amplify our impact on our community
Center for Success
Center for Success Network unites literacy and community to empower students in the journey of education. They value growth, diversity, community, and connection, and believe these values provide a strong foundation for building an equitable space where their team, students, families, volunteers, and community are valued, respected, and supported.
Take Root has partnered with Center for Success for the last two years, teaching students creative movement through our Arts Education Outreach Program. With grants provided by the Village Club and Eagles for Children, we are able to continue our work with Center for Success another year, including a new summer camp partnership happening July 2024.

Eagles for Children is a nonprofit organization that uses a simple, fun and engaging program at private golf clubs to raise funds to support local children's charities that benefit disadvantaged children.
Take Root is grateful for Eagles for Children's support of our Art's Education Impact programs. Grants provided by Eagles for Children have helped add to our sessions at Center for Success and opened the door for a new partnership this summer with Micah 6 and their summer camp.
