Outreach Extravaganza!
We’ve seen massive growth in our outreach programs over the last few months. Already this year, we’ve had over 15 visits with our outreach programs.
We’re in communities delivering creative programming in schools during lunch and in community centers and libraries in the evenings. Even better, we’ve had an influx of school groups coming to us during the day in the past few months, bringing in classes and clubs to feel the magic of MacPhee!
Recently, a group from Sackville High visited us, and we spent a lovely morning making our own playing cards with watercolour designs. It was a wonderful morning; the watercolour painting activity was peaceful and low-stress as the youth were encouraged to create only shapes and forms using one colour.
At the end of their visit, the group shared one of their traditions with us: A Gratitude Circle!
All together, they gathered in a circle, and everyone told us something positive they experienced that morning.
The youth shared that MacPhee felt very welcoming! Many expressed that MacPhee felt more “focused and purposeful” than other youth centres around.
Funnily enough, the youth shared that the space felt both professional and casual—nice to know we strike a good balance!
We can’t wait for all our upcoming outreach opportunities this year! Email us at info@macpheecentre.ca or call 902 469 2851 for more details about school trips or visits!
