I had the chance to spend some time this week with my favorite folks at The Genesis Center and Creative Pathways in Providence, RI. I’ve been fortunate to wear many hats in the Creative Pathways community, and this time I was documenting their programming 📸. Creative Pathways is an theatre and arts program (housed at The Genesis Center) that teaches ESL to immigrants, refugees, and newly arrived RI community members.
These are images from around The Genesis Center - which offers many services including ESL classes, job training, creative arts, cooking classes, among other things. They also run the restaurant CHOP (Culinary Hub of Providence), which is a mission-driven restaurant and workforce-development training space located inside the historic Providence Public Library, across the street from Trinity Rep (for my theatre friends). These food is delicious.
Genesis Center and Creative Pathways are doing important work and it’s always a highlight to spend time with them.
