This summer, we welcome new partnerships, new technology, new projects, and more socio-ecological ventures that celebrate culture and heritage while making an effort to cross generational divides. Our diverse activities offer people of all ages and backgrounds a break from the otherwise ordinary long summer day.
Check out some our events this month!

Circo Social - Circus & Community
Workshop: Juggling, Equilibrium and Acrobatics.
Date:
Saturday, July 28th - 2pm to 6pm
Description:
Workshop for Teens and Young Adults.
The different disciplines of the Circus promote and enhance the development of multiple skills and protective factors, both at the group and individual level. In the group field, these techniques promote respect for one another, solidarity, mutual support, group identity, and confidence as an important driver for the practice of various circus techniques.
At the individual level, these disciplines boost self-esteem, help manage tolerance, promote the ability to rise up, resiliency, and learning from failure. Additionally, to develop a sense of humor is a protective factor, to help know and be surprised with oneself, to visualize the potentialities, and to respect the body as a tool of work and artistic expression -- all these are accomplished by this work.

The hurricane hit Barbuda the hardest, damaging nearly all of its infrastructure and instantly rendering its 1,700 residents climate refugees. From the continental United States, millions watched with bated breath as weather projections showed the hurricane hitting Puerto Rico squarely in its center next. The timing could not have been worse: Puerto Rico is in the midst of one of the worst recessions in its history..."
