Lectures, Events and Outreach
The singular focus of The Community House (TCH) is to deliver on our nonprofit mission “to impact lives through exceptional educational, cultural and social experiences which provide the means to fund programs that help others.” We are expanding on our “Charity Helping Charity” efforts (see article on page 17) by partnering with local nonprofits to help provide food for low-income families, scholarships for at-risk girls, class supplies for those with special needs and support for at risk teenagers. A percentage of proceeds from our events and programs will go to help nonprofits do their good work. Our nonprofit partners for Winter/Spring/Summer 2025 are:
• FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation: “Empowering individuals far beyond special needs, enriching their lives through the power of creative arts, special education and recreational therapies.”
• United Community Family Services: “Dedicated to providing programs that guide, support, and empower individuals to achieve self-sufficiency with dignity and hope.”
• Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program: “To inspire, motivate and empower at-risk girls to live up to their full potential through a unique group mentoring program with professional women.”
• Cranbrook’s Horizons Upward Bound: “Academically support the efforts of the students’ home school by providing services that assist students in pursuing and achieving their dreams and goals for their academic endeavors and beyond.”
