The ReFresh Institute, Inc/ ReFresh Global NFP hasn't added a story.
Evergreen, Alabama is a small town that rest in Conecuh County. Many believe this town is overlooked, yet it is the county seat of Conecuh. (Young, 2020). After visiting in 2021, our hearts were pulled by the low presence of community wellness and arts programming for the community. We desire to bring these resources to the residents and this fine community.
The ReFresh Evergreen Project is an initiative designed to focus on providing opportunities that will make a lasting impact on the quality of life in Evergreen, Alabama. Serving as an community oasis, The ReFresh Evergreen Project will improve social capital, local economic status, community involvement, and community social networking within every important entity of this city. This project will bring a wealth of resources and opportunities to every single resident of this city through it’s community, arts, wellness empowerment programming.
According to Americans for the Arts study (2016), statistics showed that
- Despite the benefits the arts provide, not everyone in our communities has equal access to the arts.” - Just 45 percent believe that “everyone in their community has equal access to the arts.
- 87 percent of Americans believe that they arts programming are important to quality of life
- 82 percent believe they are important to local businesses and the economy.
According to the US Department of Education (2021) , “The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this mental health crisis, accelerating the need to provide school mental health support at an even larger scale to meet the needs of our nation’s youth.” ( https://www2.ed.gov/documents/students/supporting-child-student-social-emotional-behavioral-mental-health.pdf)
This community improvement project will offer Evergreen, the following:
