Institution/Business Type: Arts Service Organization

Enchanted Circle is a community partner that bridges arts, culturally responsive education, and social emotional wellbeing. We have created meaningful and transformative learning spaces which support the whole child in their developing educational path, simultaneously co-creating spaces of healing and authentic expression. We believe the importance of Culturally Responsive Arts Integration is fundamental to education and not supplemental. We embolden youth to advocate for themselves and their rights to expression by celebrating inner knowledge, cultural diversity, creativity, and passion. At Enchanted Circle, we aim to realize the opportunity and purpose of community collaboration and radical equity.
