Initiatives

The Giving Gifts initiatives are developed alongside Community Representatives to meet the unique wants and needs of the Hub. Our current initiatives aim to provide a space in the community for both mental health and environmentalism to thrive - reflecting our belief that in order to make meaningful and long lasting change, prioritize the whole self. We create a space to come together, learn together, and integrate your learning that feels best to you.

Without shame or guilt, we host cleanup experiences that connects individuals with community and the environment that’s right in front of them. Our monthly cleanups are a consistent way to show up for community, for the planet, and for yourself.

We live in a very loud world, sometimes it is difficult to hear the voices of those who might not be shouting. The Giving Gifts Podcast creates a space for real people, to share real stories, as we all navigate how to use our gifts in this world.
