Who We Are
Reclaim Edu is an after-school arts program for parents and kids.
We create space for families to come together, slow down, and spend meaningful time with each other—through creativity, conversation, and shared experiences.
Our programs are designed for middle and high school students and the parents or caregivers who support them.
We believe that learning is not just about school.
It’s also about:
understanding yourself
expressing what you feel
building strong relationships
Through art, poetry, and guided reflection, we help families connect in ways that feel real, honest, and lasting.
Our Mission
Reclaim Education helps families connect using critical thinking and creativity. Through our learning experiences, people gain a greater understanding of themselves and others.
We empower learners and leaders to reconnect with their purpose. We integrate life and literacy with social-emotional skills to help individuals reclaim their voice, rebuild confidence, and reimagine what learning can be.
Our Vision
We envision a future where education is a pathway to wholeness—where learning is not only academic, but also emotional, social, and creative.
Reclaim Education imagines communities where young people and families have equitable access to the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive. We believe creative expression, practical knowledge, and meaningful relationships can transform lives for generations.
Core Values
Critical Thinking:
We believe every learner has the power to reclaim their story through critical thinking. The skills that matter most in life—communication, decision-making, self-awareness, and relationship-building—require reflection, curiosity, and the courage to think deeply.
Creativity:
We honor imagination as a catalyst for healing, expression, and innovation. Creativity helps people make meaning of their experiences, discover new possibilities, and reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been overlooked or silenced.
Connection:
We believe learning happens best in relationships. That is why we prioritize emotional, social, and community well-being as essential to growth. We design experiences that help people reconnect with themselves, each other, and the spaces where belonging can flourish
Our Story
Reclaim Edu was created from a simple idea: families need more space to connect.
Too often, life moves quickly. Conversations are rushed, and meaningful time together gets pushed aside.
Reclaim Edu was built to slow things down.
What started as a vision has grown into a space where families come together to create, reflect, and share experiences that matter.
Through each program, we focus on helping families:
communicate more openly
build trust and understanding
create moments they can carry with them
Because connection isn’t something that happens once—it’s something we build over time.
