Everyone who registers will be entered to win our grand prize!
This year, our grand prize is a ChromeBook courtesy of COX Communications.
Other prizes available to win include a new bike courtesy of the RI Association for Justice, toys courtesy of Jules Hope Chest and Henry Bear’s Park, and a variety of gift cards.

Register to enter the Sidewalk Chalk Drawing Competition next to the Elizabeth Baldwin Elementary School. Up to 10 children can participate in this competition, so be sure to sign up early.

Join guided walks along the Baldwin Loop Walking Path. Learn about the history of the Woodlawn neighborhood and our organization and stop at activity stations along the way to win prizes.
Guided walks will leave from Payne Park at approximately 12pm, 12:30pm, and 1pm.

Visit the Wishing Tree art installation. Built using donated recycled bottle caps and “wishes” collected at last year’s community event, this installation was truly made by and for the community. You could even see your own wish there!
Check out the Peace Cranes art installations in the Hope Artiste Village. This mesmerizing canopy of origami peace cranes was handmade by and for our community. Learn how to make your own peace cranes at this stop on the walk with the help of our friends from the United Way of RI.

Drop in for Art in the Park activities including Fairy House Building, Jewelry Making, and Kindness Rocks.

Listen in on story time and get a free book courtesy of Books Are Wings.

RIDE Class Enrollment Instructions

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.

Instructions for Enrollment:
The above link should take you to a page that looks like the image to the right.

Step 1: Create Account
Parents must select ‘Create Account.’ You will create a Parent/Guardian account if your child is K-8. You are able to add multiple students under one account if you have more than one child interested in participating.

Step 2: Enroll in Course
Once your account is created, you will now be able to see your child’s information on the Student Dashboard. In the bottom right corner you should see an option for ‘Add Course’ where you can select your desired course.

Step 3: Locate TEF Courses
When you get to the course selection page, you may have trouble finding The Empowerment Factory. Click on “provider” and the list will alphabetize, then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list and there you will find our classes.

Simply check the box next to your selected course and it will be added to the list at the top of the page.

Step 7: School Member Approval
A designated member from your child’s school has to approve the course enrollment. Through the system you will be notified of your approval into the course, or if room fills up you will be placed on a waitlist.
