About Us
Mission & Vision
Remedy Coalition is dedicated to empowering individuals and communities in high-risk areas through healing, self-discovery, and creative expression. We believe in the transformative power of art and education to rewrite narratives and foster generational change.
The mission of Remedy Coalition is to bring awareness to the needs of high-risk areas and awaken a spirit of empowerment and active agency in each individual by aiding participants with tools and resources rooted in healing and self-discovery. We access a variety of art outlets and educational resources to meet community members where they are and pull from the talents and passions of the community to provide spaces for this collaborative healing journey.
The vision of this work is to foster healing that will shift the course of generations and provide a core belief that within the individual and the community, there is power to write a different narrative. Our services include art classes for youth, art exhibits to showcase community talent, healthy lifestyle events, and partnerships with other nonprofits to expand access to resources and support. Through these offerings, we aim to create opportunities for self-expression, emotional well-being, and personal growth.
