New Roots team

 New Roots is a non-profit program founded by a team of queer, trans, and gender nonconforming artists. Our entirely LGBTQIA+2S artistic staff exercises their lived experience while designing our programming. We are committed to respectfully navigating and supporting our specific community’s needs within an isolated rural environment.
