The Empowerment Factory is happy to be hosting our 4th Annual Healthy Living Community Event (HLCE)! This year will be a bit different. Instead of a one day event we are hosting a month of virtual and in person activities that focus on the arts, wellness, literacy and the environment.

The first 100 children that register will get a goodie bag, given to them on the Scavenger Walk at the registration table. Everyone that registers will be entered to win our grand prize of a ChromeBook.

On October 17th, 11am – 2pm, ( rain date Oct. 18th 11am – 2pm) we are working with our community partners to offer a Baldwin Loop Scavenger Walk, a major component of this year’s HLCE, with 18 different stations, each with a QR code that takes you to a virtual activity. There will be mural painting, a sidewalk chalk exhibit and competition, and art activity kit giveaways along the way as well.

For each of the 18 stations you complete, your name will be entered once in our big prize drawing. Complete all 18 activities after initial registration and have your name entered up to 19 times. If you can not attend on the 17th, you can still participate. The Scavenger Walk will be open to entries from October 17th through October 24th. Winners will be announced on October 30th. Winners will be contacted by email, and can pick up their prizes at The Empowerment Factory.

After having 9 in person “Art in the Park” programs this summer, we are confident that we will be able to hold this outdoor event. All in person events will take place outside with safety protocol and social distancing.

If you would like to support this event, you can be a sponsor or purchase in kind donations in our Amazon Wish List.

Los primeros 100 niños en registrarse obtendrán una goodie bag que se les entregará en la mesa de registro del Scavenger Walk. Todos los participantes registrados tendrán la oportunidad de ganar un Chromebook -nuestro premio mayor.

El 17 de octubre de 11am a 2pm, (día de lluvia 18 de Oct 11am-2pm), les ofrecemos el Baldwin Loop Scavenger Walk, una colaboración con nuestros socios comunitarios, principal componente del HLCE del presente año; con 17 estaciones, cada una cuenta con un código QR para acceder a una actividad virtual. También, el Scavenger Walk incluye pintura de murales, una exhibición y competencia de tiza en la calle, y kits para actividades de arte que se distribuirán en el camino.

Por cada una de las 18 estaciones que completes, tu nombre entrará en nuestra gran rifa. Además, al registrarte tu nombre entrará otra vez: ¡podrás participar en la rifa hasta 19 veces con tu nombre! Si no lográs atender el 17, aun tienes oportunidad de participar. El Scavenger Walk estará abierto para registrar entradas del 17 al 24 de octubre. Los ganadores serán anunciados el 30 de octubre. Los ganadores serán contactados a través de correo, y podrán recoger sus premios en The Empowerment Factory.

Después de realizar 9 programas en persona “Art in the Park” este verano, estamos seguros de realizar HLCE al aire libre. Todos nuestros eventos que ocurren al aire libre siguen medidas preventivas de COVID, haciendo énfasis en el distanciamiento social.

This link (https://enrollri.force.com/Courses/courses_sitelogin) will take you to a new site being used by the Rhode Island Department of Education which allows for pre-registration beginning Jan. 5th.

As a reminder, The Empowerment Factory is a Rhode Island nonprofit, so we encourage families to register ONLY for classes they can commit to attending, since our funding structure is tied to actual attendance.

We recommend signing up on a desktop or laptop computer if possible as the mobile view of the site is missing a few things.
