the project

    As a Cleveland native I have fallen in love with my city. I believe as a community we are fully capable of spreading loving, supporting each other, and create the community we desire to live in.  As one of the founding members of Elements of Internal Movement Non-Profit Organization 501(c)3, I strive to be apart of a positive change in the community through many art forms. We will build a community garden, sanctuary, and amphitheater. We will create an aesthetically pleasing environment for art activities, community events, and wellness opportunities to take place. We will also offer fresh produce to supplement the households in the community. 

    As we build a space for us all to enjoy we strive to incorporate our youth in a major way. Through agriculture leaving experiences, engaging incentives, and fitness activities a group of youth will be empowered to see the change that they can make in the world. As details are planned the youth will be empowered to make decisions and observe as their decisions grow and affect those around them. 

the steps

why we're doing it

In a community still healing from tragic events, neighbour will gain social experiences as we come together and build a space to enjoy each other. Many different strengths are encouraged with building, knowledge of agriculture, and event planning. The project builds bridges by bringing together different community members and organizations with similar goals. The project will pull together neighbors who can not only support each other with the project but daily living. As this group begins to bond a new network of support will be created for those who may be elderly or have other specific needs. Strength in resiliency will increase as the healing abilities of art, meditation, and nature are utilized. The community will not only improve aesthetically but in collectivism. We are creating uplifting memories to soften the blows of others.
