Mission Moment
Our Board of Directors, staff, and students gathered for a commemorative photo as well as cupcakes to kick off The Wooden Floor’s 40th Anniversary year of celebrations. Founded in 1983, with humble beginnings in a church basement, The Wooden Floor has grown to be one of the foremost creative youth development nonprofit organizations in the country. Throughout this year, we look forward to sharing the stories of our alumni from the past four decades who have become change agents and beacons of hope within their own families, their neighborhoods, our community, and our world - thanks to your support.
