Feb 12 - April 23 | Community in a Cup & Candle: A Creative Class from Project Create

This spring, Project Create is offering a warm, hands-on afterschool class that blends creativity, reflection, and community connection. Community in a Cup & Candle invites students to explore the people and places that make their neighborhood feel safe, caring, and strong.

Through tea blending and candle making, participants will create comforting teas and glowing candles inspired by helpers, family members, neighbors, and favorite local spots. Each project becomes a personal way for students to share what community means to them—using scent, light, and storytelling as tools for expression.
