The Arts Education Impact Program supports communities such as The Baldwin Center/Pontiac and Oakland Family Services/Pontiac through classes, lecture demonstrations and performances involving children in collaboration with the Take Root Company Dancers.  Offering a safe , diverse and inclusive atmosphere, the Arts Education Impact Program offers guided explorations and improvisations where children discover positive ways to communicate, express and problem solve.

Residency at Oakland Family Services

Take Root had an extremely successful 6-month residency at Oakland Family Services. From September 2018 through February 2019, Take Root Arts Education Impact Faculty taught weekly classes to over fifty children ranging in ages from 4-6 years old. This residency culminated in a free performance by Take Root and the children from OFS at The Strand Theater in Pontiac this past February.
