Skilled Hearts

Skilled Hearts empowers adults with special needs through hands‑on training, community connection, and monthly Crafting Tables that build confidence, skills, and real opportunities for independence, possible employment, and meaningful belonging.

Join us at the June Crafting Table 🎨 for a relaxed, hands-on session where young adults with special needs can practice creative skills, build confidence, and enjoy time together. At this table, you will craft three epoxy flowers to the color of your choice, arrange them in individual vases, and decorate each one with a ribbon that reflects your personal style. &nbsp; Here you&rsquo;ll find four flower styles to choose from. Pick up to three different designs, or select one favorite to create a matching trio. At craft night, you&rsquo;ll also get to choose from a variety of vases, customize your colors, and finish each piece with an accent ribbon that fits your style.
