The Greenhouse
The Greenhouse is a paid apprenticeship project cultivating budding Miami Creatives (ages 18-24 years) in a trauma-informed, therapeutic, vocational development program.
The Greenhouse nurtures professional development, creative self-exploration, and mind-body wellness during a 10-week growing season where sprouting projects yield from seeds planted in the warmth and protection of the community greenhouse.
The 10-week growing season is a summer program designed in collaboration with a committee of certified art therapists, licensed counselors, and various arts-based, educational, and integrative professionals.
